I think there are other sites on the web that may have advice. Also, importantly, please note that there may be lead in old paint anywhere in your house. I always advise consulting with pro's on this issue. Good luck. Elizabeth, this is not a DIY site… I think there are other sites on the web that may have advice.

Hopefully I can get a response to this post! I have these identical cabinets in my home. Unfortunately, I do not have the man power and resources (garage space etc.) to repaint mine in such a professional manner. Is it possible for me to lightly sand them (they basically have a primer on them already,) just to rough up the cabinet a little, and spray paint them with a metal paint while they are hanging? I thought perhaps I could use a roller to smooth out drips with an extra coat as they mentioned above. We want to use a chrome looking paint, I want it to be really vibrant in the kitchen. We don't have chrome appliances so those will not clash. I was thinking a chrome paint and choosing something that really pops for handles like a cobalt color....... Young couple, one is disabled, the other is not handy with tools and could probably not remove the cabinets and hang them back up....also...not enough money to pay someone else to do it and all our friends and family are too busy to assist.

I was just at a relative's house where they had done the same thing, although many many years ago. It looked fine, especially since it wasn't a high-falutin' kitchen. More than fine, actually. Note: Know that old paint can contain lead. Be sure to consult a pro, get informed, and take proper precautions whenever undertaking a do-it-yourself project like this. Thanks, Fred.
