What is on them now?

What was on them before?

Are you looking for a glossy finish?

I would suggest that you go to a paint store (not Lowe's or HD),
preferably one that specializes in working with commercial
painters. With the answers to the above questions, ask for their
advice. Make sure that the sanding sealer, primer, finish paint,
clear coat, etc are chemically compatible. They will probably
tell you to buy all in the same brand, but be very clear about
families of products within one brand. Be very clear about mixing
latex and oil. Be very clear about sand papers / steel wool /
etc.

HVLP is an excellent paint gun. Unless you have additional uses,
ask at the very same paint store about renting a dedicated HVLP
system. If you already own a substantial compressor you may get
your best bang for the buck with an HVLP conversion gun.

I gave up on staining the cabinets and am considering painting
them. A
stain will keep the kitchen dark and the cabinets are already
outdated
as is.

Previous posts show that people had the best results with a HVLP
sprayer and using oil based primer and paints. (2 coats primer,
2
coats paint, 1 poly).

Building on that, Any paint suggestions, thining techniques, or
painting sprayer suggestions (wagner HVLP?)?
