you can absolutely do this yourself!!! if you want a factory finish buy a sprayer. but a foam roller will also give great results. use a Poly-acrylic top coat and you 'll have a really nice velvety finish that will be easily cleaned. I did a post about a set of cabinets I did for someone and how I set up a spray booth. but spraying is def not necessary. I did my current kitchen with a roller and love the finish.

I would leave it alone. Mine were pro painted and still chipped.

I've had mine painted for over a year now and so far so good, no chipping! And i scrub them down too

Here's my post about how to do it

some cabinets have what amounts to contact paper over particle board, you might want to check first, then get the right paint for the job.
