My personal preference is a gloss paint. Not what most people do. Easy to wash and takes a beating.

Hi Jeanie,If you want professional-style results, it's imperative to prime the boxes, door fronts and drawers before you begin painting. Once your primer has dried, use an angled brush and a mini foam roller to apply your paint. A latex satin finish works well on kitchen cabinets and it isn't as hard to work with as oil paint. -

Hello. I would use semi gloss for the kitchen cabinets. They would be wipeable then. Satin is hard to wipe clean. -

Semi gloss or gloss is easier to clean without taking off paint over time. -

I agree with semi gloss or gloss. . . oil is also better but I find the new oil paints noxious to breathe when painting indoors.
