Since the house is old, you might want to check if it's lead-based paint and take the necessary precautions. Then after a thorough scraping and some sanding, this product may be a good primer for your situation. It's a "high build" (thick) product that's good for leveling out the surface. Not cheap, but many pros use it.
When it is smooth to the finger tips, paint it with a stain blocking primer. Two coats. Then the room paint.

It's a high quality primer. It will make the paint stick without peeling for years. If you don't mind the shipping charge (not me), here you go! :)
Edit: Any good latex primer should do you just fine. Don't go cheap though. Hope this helps.
I used [this] (http://smile.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-207016-Marine-Primer-1-Quart/dp/B000C011CO?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage) and it worked great
Remove loose paper with a taping knife and then use a shellac-based primer. At least that’s what worked for me.
I just bought my first home and the rooms need to be repainted and I'm completely clueless. The previous owners painted a super dark brown in the bedroom, neon orange in the guest room, and blue with cloud and truck stencils in what will be my office. Google tells me I should use a high hide primer maybe like this? Also, would it be worth investing in a paint sprayer since I have 3 maybe 4 decent sized rooms to do? Any other tips worth noting for a first-timer?
Thanks for the help!
This tray is what I use. Found it for $2 at a yard sale. Just dump the primers in there and shake it a couple times then flip it.
Well there are two big differences between my model and that car print. First exactly like you pointed out he painted the model straight onto raw print so every buildline is who isn't through the paint.
Second is that his model was printed on a desktop FDM printer in PLA material. My mech was printed on an industrial size SLS machine in HD Nylon so difference in resolution is vastly different.
But still, if I would to paint base coat onto that mech without priming and sanding it first you would also see buildlines on it.
You can sand the model without priming it at all yes but it would take you much longer because you would be physically sanding away the buildlines to make it smooth. What happens when you prime it first is that the primer is filling in the buildlines as it dries but also as you sanding it so you only require half the time to bring it to the same smooth finish.
Like I said I am using heavy build primer that is so finally dedicated to smooth models when sanded. Such primers are used on cars to repair body work etc. Primers, as they call them, that you buy in say Games Workshop in reality are just grey or black colored spray paint. There is literally no difference between them and your basic spray paint you can buy in any department store. They just call it 'primer' and charge double for it.
What you need is a heavy high build car primer. This is the one I use: U-POL HIGH/AL High5 Primer, 450 ml, Beige https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003TQD5CC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_II6lybPY0KDY0
Trust me it works absolute wonders
I looking for a light weight headset that is the price range from 20-60 dollars. I also wear glasses so it has to be able to work with that.

Right now my current painting equipement:

Is there anything else I should buy?
I dont have the exact brand, but I used this kind of stuff.
Unfortunatlly, the stuff i used wasnt 100% clear and there is a very light satin (brown) coloring on all my peices now. Not a major deal (you cant tell from the photo), but still.. Make sure you get clear.
I wouldn't recommend the spray on stuff. I tried that at first and it left a rough finish on it that would be bad on playmats. The brush on stuff drys much smoother. And you don't need a thick coat. Just to enough to lightly cover the print to keep it from light scratches (because yes you are right, i printed mine out and the toner is very fragile).
