painting cabinets
Anyone ever paint their cabinets without sanding? If so what paint did you use?

Here are some tips and techniques click here (I should add that I refinished some furniture pieces for this guy when he gave up part way through the stripping.)
I would add
* Prep : clean and dull
* Primer : I like BIN _Shellac_ based primer (they now carry a synthetic shellac version)
* Paint : Avoid inexpensive latex paint. These are prone to blocking. If you can get oil-based paint in your location (some low-VOC states make it hard to rind) I'd opt for that. There are other options but most of them require spray equipment and good ventilation.
