scrape clean and spot prime paint free areas, then one coat of primer
over everything if the underlying paint is in poor condition

Just one if done right. Use a good brand, not some discount crap that will
blister in two years.
Prep is the most important part of the job. Happens to be the most boring
and tedious, but if not done properly, you'll be doing it again soon. Scrap
that loose stuff off.
