I painted pressed wood cabinet boxes with paper veneer that has solid wood doors over 10 years ago no scratches scrapes or dings to this point. Looks as good as the Ist day. I lightly sanded the entire cabinet surface to remove gloss or residue to assure good paint adherence. Then applied semi gloss paint by Sherwin Williams. This application has proven to be very durable.
I sanded mine and then painted them with kilnz paint and mod podged recipe pages and spay painted the hardware. Totaly old 70's mobile home cabinets. 2 years and they still look good.
Try Lowes or Home Depot for wood peel and stick sheeting on rolls. Usually in lumber section. Or peel and stick vinyl planks or tiles. Either case you must clean and prime osb or paticle board or it will not stick. Painting doesnt work well on osb or particle board. It absorbs tons of paint. You could cover it with cheap luan or 1/4 inch paneling first. Cut to fit remenant vinyl sheeting works nice to. Id caulk joints and edges to. Good luck
Chalk paint is my answer
