Peace Painting Co., Inc. on Mar 09, 2013Rachel, one principle in painting is don't paint over anything hard and shiny without preparing it properly. If you don't want there to be a possibility of future peeling then something shiny needs to be de-glossed. This can be quickly done with a fine sanding sponge run evenly over the surface. Even if you are applying water base paint over an old oil base paint, a simple sanding then a coat (or two) of TOP-LINE water-base enamel will serve you well. With the proper prep, the top of the line enamels are meant to stick to any surface. Best, CharlesHelpful Reply

BlueLine Home Maintenance & Remodeling on Mar 11, 2013I would agree with Charles as you won't want to have to run into peeling within a few years and do this all over again with even more preparation work. You'll already have to use several coats to cover the black cabinets even with high quality paint.Helpful Reply
