Hi Jan, not if they are done correctly. I painted my kitchen cabinets 5 years ago using cabinet paint then sealed with a polyurethane and they are still in great shape. A lot of the newer products require no prep work and have everything in them. Inquire at your paint stores and they will point you in the right direction.
that depends on how well you do your prep to paint them. I prefer to take the finish off to the bare wood, clean well, prime then 2 coats of paint- with a paint designated for kitchens .i have seen talk about "sealing the paint" with a clear coat that's basically Bull- crap. use a quality paint, do the proper prep, let the coats of paint cure b/4 using.
I agree with Dfm above, paint doesn't need a clear coat unless it is thinned or altered. I Use oil based paint and primer because it is so durable. But I know it is not available everywhere.
If you ever need help or have any questions you can feel free to call us at 813-909-1962 during business hours. We have a full staff here eager to help you!

It is super easy to paint with Dixie Belle:
