I read somewhere that you should mix (I think 50 v 50) between the final colour and water as a primer and then the final coat as normal. Make sure it well dried out though, otherwise you will be prone to cracks etc. after the painting is done.

We just moved into a new house and only needed 2 coats of paint on the bare plaster walls - we toyed with the idea of undercoating the whole place put decided against it as there was only me and Mr. tomo doing the painting - we bought all Crown paints and the 2 coats on each wall turned out fine - saying that the majority of the house is cream in colour so if you were painting a dark colour you may need 3 coats.
I think undercoating is a waste of time and effort - spend the extra money on a decent tin of paint instead!
