Hi Corrie. Did you try to lightly sand them so the paint will adhere better? I would also get a oil based primer to put on before painting. The oil base works much better. What material are they? You may need to get a special epoxy paint depending on the material. You could take a door into a local paint or home improvement store and see what they would recommend.
Amanda is right - sand, prime and paint - should work and oil based will stick to anything.
what material are they? different application for different materials ---
Could you please send us a photo of the cabinets. Please s3nd one of the kitchen as well. It will help us to give the proper, knowledgeable advice.
What are they made of? Laminate?
yes
I did a little research and it looks like you can purchase a special paint binding primer to use. I would see what your local home improvement store recommends. Good Luck!
