Clean with TSP and scout out the “oops” section of paint for something you like. You can pick up paint cheaply. I got a gallon of high end paint for $15 and I’m painting a cabinet with it.
Kathy's advice is right on. Depending on the cabinet's size, it likely won't take very much paint so you get a quart of pretty good paint for not too many $. Remember that prep is key!
Clean it well and prep properly considering what it is made of.
I frequent the mistake section of paint at DIY stores to see if there is anything that is suitable. Also, you could check out Restores, they have some there for cheap prices.
if the cabinet is small enough you can get buy with buying a sample paint can that will cover it at HOme Depot they are less than $5
make sure you get a paint that is for wood or laminate whatever your cabinet is made of
Oops paint in the paint section.
For me the prep has always been the most important part. Clean, sand and clean again to get dust off.
Hubby found a 5 gallon bucket of outdoor semi gloss white paint at Lowes for $35. Nothing wrong with it they were just in the process of changing labels. Don't know why they couldn't just slap a new label over the old one but they didn't and we got a awesome buy. Wish that happened more often.
Hello, check the paint section for mistint paint, you can pick it up quite cheaply, just make sure it is clean and dry before you begin to paint
Clean it well and sand any rough areas. Buy some paint made for cabinets. Prime and paint.
Hi, D.I.Y with paint ( satin finish ) and brush or small roller.
You can definitely do it by yourself, just make sure that it is clean. May sanding it down before painting it.

First clean with a good cleaner degreaser. Purple Power or Krud Cutter. Rinse well. then lightly sand with a sanding sponge. Clean off once again and prime with a gripping primer. The use a good latex paint, either in eggshell or satin. If you have a paint sprayer that will eliminate brush marks. If not get the rubber 4 inch or 6 inch rollers for doors and paint. You will probably have to paint 2 coats. No top coat is needed.
Thanks for the information, will be doing this in the fall.
