Gayle... it's easier than ya think to paint your cabinets and inexpensive too. We put a coat of Kilz primer on first, I should tell you that our cabinets have like a plastic coated finish on the doors. After you primer, put two coats of whatever color of paint that you like and YooHoo! New cabinets
I never thought I would like doing stuff like this because everything costs so much, but I must say that after I got started painting, well an example would be.... my stepdaughter spent 10,000 on a new kitchen and we couldn't afford that so I found some paint samples at Lowe's, started a project and now I am starting to redo alot in our house. We have spent about 40.00 on paint and primer for the kitchen, can't beat that
