Do you prime your woodenware before you paint? Was @ a friends house he just uses two coats of exterior latex no prime.

Two coats here. I believe if you check with the paint manufactures the only reason to paint with primer for the filler coat is the fact that primer is cheaper than the top cot paint.

Just a couple of coats of exterior mis-tints from the local stores.  The mis-tints are cheap, usually $5 a gallon or $3 for a quart.  The different colors help to break up the monotony  :rainbowflower: and liven up the bee yard, which also happens to be my garden of serenity.
