Sand them to dull the finish to slow paint to hold
why remove? Sand, Prime, and Repaint!
you may need to strip the oil paint off.
Paint remover and sanding should do the trick.
I agree with Joycelbl. Why remove?!
Make sure they are clean and dry. Use acrylic latex paint. Remove the doors and hardware. Mark the doors and cabinets with tape where they go. Lightly sand the doors and cabinets to remove any gloss and roughen the surface for paint. Prime with a stain blocking primer like Zinsser 123, KILZ,or BIN. Then paint with your color. Seal with at least three coats with a water based polyurethane. Use a small foam roller and foam brush for a smooth finish.
