One of my neighbors added trim and painted theirs (with a good primer) and I was surprised at how well it turned out.

  Thank you for the reply. Did they sand them prior to painting?

  No sanding, they used a no sanding primer. they just had to clean the cabinets well before. I will try to ask them the brand and get back to you.
