Hi Angela! What is the color of the existing finish you are wanting to paint over?

General finishes has a weathered grey gel stain that might help you! I'll leave a link below!

  Oh pretty! :) I would use the GF gel stain and wipe it away as you go. I really like Cheryls recommendation below too!

Here is how one person did it on a large dresser. This would work for kitchen cabinets. Hope you find this helpful Angela!
