De-greased? All knots on new wood should be coated with a knotting solution, all holes filled and gaps on top edges and corners with decorators caulk cleaned with a damp sponge to remove excess. And then two coats of acrylic primer/ undercoat, two coats of preferred top coat. All old woodwork needs sanding to create a key for new paint and to remove any loose or flaky paint and filling where necessary and two coats of satin or eggshell or one undercoat, one gloss coat. a light sand between coats is also recommended.
