Hi, I was wondering after all this time how your cabinets are holding up? We are planning on painting our similar ones this weekend.
Can you tell me a bit more if you can remember. did you use a roller? if so what kind? Also how much did you sand the fronts?

The original poster hasn't posted since March, but I painted mine the same time she painted hers (actually this post inspired me!), and I'm shocked at how well they've held up. I primed with oil based primer and painted with latex paint using a roller. It took two coats of paint. The only thing that I would do differently had I known, was that I later found out that marine paint, the kind used to paint the deck of a boat, is the best paint to use because you can scrub it like crazy and nothing will happen to it. That being said, I used Clorox wipes and the mr. Clean magic eraser on them all the time without any issues. Hth!
