Yes, you can. I did mine 3 years ago and they still look fantastic. I made sure they were very clean, primed them then painted with melamine paint as it's very durable!
Barbara: I did mine too. (see photo)
Clean well, PRIME! and then two coats of GOOD latex paint. Be careful with the cabinets for about a month -- to have the paint "cure"
Hi Barbara, yes you can! I love chalk paint for this! Hope this helps you out,
