I ended up using a brand called Duramax by Valspar...(Lowes brand) I like it, because it has the primer built in...just paint, recoat twice, you good to go.
I used Semi-Gloss...

Do recommend using a roller though...brushes can leave brush marks...

So do I.  Unfortunately, that stuff isn't available in NJ due to stupid environmental laws.   :angry:

Some years ago, Benjamin Moore put out a pure-black oil-based semi-gloss and my "paint lady" suggested that it might be perfect for use on cabinets (it had precious few uses outside of industrial because it was pure black base -- no tinting available). Wonderful, wonderful paint for black cabinets.

I have used both oil based and latex and I do prefer oil based but at least with latex you don't have your whole house smelling like paint. Latex is a lot more nose friendly for the other occupants of the house ;)

Of course laminate is my preferred method but when paint is a must Oil is the preferred but latex definitely has some advantages.
