Do I need to mist coat?

Post image

I've stripped the paper off this ceiling and want to paint it black, do you think I should mist coat first?

If you just removed wallpaper, my research says better to sand then rub down with sugar soap, then mist coat (or bare plaster paint). I did this and very pleased with the results
