The key is to make sure you use an oil based paint, not a latex paint. Just be warned - it smells really bad! But they are the ones that are the most durable and and wipe off easiest. You also want to use a pretty good quality paint - Sherman Williams does a mid grade 220 that is very good. I used the color alabaster and it turned out really nice! Matches the crown molding in my house...I used someone who painted all of my cabinets for I think around $500....including paint. If you want to contact him, just let me know ____@____.com

When I moved into my house, the kitchen cabinets were such a dark brown and shiny finish...we painted them white and I LOVE them! It's not hard to keep them clean. We ended up spray paining the insides white as well...all came out great...that was back in 2000 and they still look great.

My kitchen is black and white.
