Lightly sand them so the paint will stick
Hi Terri. If you don't want to spend days and days stripping and sanding your cabinets, you could try a new paint on the market. It's called Beyond Paint. It eliminates the need of stripping, sanding, priming. or sealing. It's a bit pricey though. Home Depot sells it for approx. $100 per gallon.
Terri: I would also sand them. ...and do a good, complete job.
Nothing like a clean stripped pallet to get a good paint job.
You can paint over painted cabinets with a light sanding and Fusion Mineral Paint which needs no prep work. You can seal the finished cabinets for extra durability.
