An auto shop would do a good job, but you want a product that stands up
to oils and abrasions, maybe auto paint is not the best, contact 3m,
Dupont, for their product advise. See if Sherwin Williams has automobile
paints, best is ask a manufacturer that makes both. Now if it is wood,
you need paint that expands and contracts, paint for specificly wood
cabinets that hold up to oils and hands, auto paint may be to hard and
crack and look bad in a year.

there are specific places for cabinets, my neighbor at work is one such,
familiar with the paints and processes.

Biggest issue is that all auto paints are gloss, while most home finishes
are some matte etc, which is actually a trickty little deal[paint is
naturally glossy and needs additives to be 'flat'

I know of only one time of someone using automotive paint on kitchen
cabinets and it turned out great. I know they are at least 25 years old and
look great still. There was an extreme amout of work in preping the
cabinets. Mutiple coats of sealers, hardeners, primers and endless hours of
sanding. Painting a car was less work. Glad i dont live with it, I would be
tired of the red and black Chinese motiff by now.
