First, clean them with TSP to remove any old dirt, grease build-up etc. Then, lightly sand them to remove any shiny finish. Then, use a coat of good primer, and two coats of a kitchen/bath enamel paint. It is more durable than standard latex paint in most cases. Check with your local home center for more info.
