It depends on what they are made from. Wood can be scrubbed and lightly sanded so the paint adheres well. Laminates need to be scuffed up with plain steel wool before painting with a paint made to adhere to laminate. I've had great success painting formica by scuffing it and painting with a shellac based paint. The shellac dries much faster and harder that polyurethane. It also lasts longer.

When we updated our white ones the contractor used "Milk" paint and the finish is terrific.
