Painting pre-primed doors and trim

paint

When I bought my house everything was painted, trim, doors, baseboard etc.

Now I am developing my basement and ordered trim and doors from the same supplier. They all came pre-primed so I assumed I can just use a finish paint.

I checked what the builder left behind and I found that the painter used this paint for the doors and trim: http://www.homedepot.ca/product/behr-premium-plusltsupgtreglt-supgt-interior-semi-gloss-enamel-paint-ultra-/938906

Which is a paint and primer in 1. As the reviews are good and I would like the colors to be the same, is it safe to use this paint and do everything just 1 coat?

It is perfectly fine to use the paint/primer paint in the place of paint.

If you go with the same brand, you should be able to get the color code off the lid and any hardware store that sells the paint will be able to mix the same color again for you.
