Your end product depends on the prep!!!!!! I know many say that doesn't matter with certain paints....but believe me it matters!!!! You don't want too many layers of paint because it gets that old crusty look. If you like the super shabby look in your kitchen, welcome it. But if not...... You could strip it first. Or if you are just going to paint again, you could sand it smooth and primer it. Then I would steel wool or lightly sand again before you add your paint coats to get that super smooth finish.
ALSO...the paints are a huge factor for kitchens and bathrooms. You will want to use something super heavy duty for that kind of traffic! If you are putting the time in to prep them well and paint them well you will want a good paint that will last. Benjamin Moore ADVANCE!! $50 per gallon but it's so worth it!!! That paint is an excellent cabinet paint and you don't need a topcoat. I seriously just wipe it down when it gets dirty. If you can use a sprayer with this paint....even better. Anyway, hope this helps.
Just make sure you clean them well and remove all greasy fingerprints with a good degreaser then paint. Use interior latex in the finish you want. Flat is harder to clean so go with the satin or eggshell finish paint.
Wash down with TSP. Use the same type paint that's on it now so it doesn't peel.
