To paint them, lightly sand to remove any shine, prime them with Zinsser 123 primer. Then paint them with your color. Removing the doors and hardware, and marking them would make painting easier. Then seal with at least three coat of a water based polyurethane. Use a foam roller and foam brush ti get a smooth finish.
I imagine I can do this to a piece of older particle board furniture.
Depends on what needs fixing up. Just a new paint job and hardware? Easy enough. Are the interiors in good shape? If not, you can paint them, though I will warn it's not easy and you need to be practically an acrobat. Are the doors and drawers dinged? You might be able to rout a new edge on them and then paint them or you could reface them yourself by adding a layer of lauan. Are they just sort of boring? Add some trim and new handles/pulls. Any or all of that may be possible, but it depends on what you mean by fixing up.
