Hi Sukidd, So many different ways to change your cabinets with paint. I suggest you go to youtube.coml There's multiple tutorials and you can see exactly what needs done If you watch a few, you'll be able to paint yours. Preparation work is the key to an excellent finish. Lots of cleaning, sanding etc. Usually it is suggested that you remove the doors from the base of framework of the cabinets.
First clean the cabinets with a good cleaner degreaser. Then lightly sand the cabinets. Clean off with a tack rag. Then prime with a good bonding stain blocking primer. Lightly sand again. Then paint with a sprayer or mohair roller. You don't want brush or roller marks. then lightly sand again and paint again. Do NOT use chalk paint it does not last. Painting kitchen cabinets is very tedious and laborious but well worth the effort. Good luck Oh use a good acrylic paint, from either Benjamin Moore, or Sherwin Williams Behr also makes a paint called Marquee which is good. No top coat necessary. Use semi-gloss so that you can wipe the cabinets down when necessary.
Make sure they are clean and dry. Remove the doors and hardware. Mark the doors and cabinets with tape where they go. Lightly sand the doors and cabinets to remove any gloss and roughen the surface for paint with 220-grit sandpaper. Use a tack cloth or damp rag to remove dust after sanding. Prime with a stain blocking primer like KILZ. Acrylic, or water-base, paints are low-fume and clean up easily with water. Alkyd, or oil-base, paints require good ventilation because the paint contains solvents that can irritate your lungs and make you feel sick. Alkyd options require mineral spirits for cleanup, but they provide a hard, durable paint finish. Whichever you use, buy the best-quality paint you can afford for a lasting kitchen cabinet finish. Seal with at least three coats with a water based polyurethane. Use a small foam roller and foam brush for a smooth finish.
