Primer + undercoat + top coat, or some appropriate variation of that routine dependent upon the chosen paint solvent/carrier. Follow the guidance on the tin of your chosen top coat. For example, if your chosen top coat is a waterborne blue, use whatever that top coat tells you to use on the bare wood as a primer (and for an undercoat if that's what's specified). Similarly, if you go the oil/solvent base top coat route, follow the guidance printed on that can.
Essentially, the paint is the sealer. Slainte.

Personally, I'd be using Bedec Multi-Surface Paint (MSP). No primer required, although I would paint all around, paying particular attention to the edges.
