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... http://www.lowes.com/pd_77418-4-007.0077418.007_0_?productId=3079301&Ntt=duramax&Ntk=i_products&pl=1¤tURL=/pl__0__s?newSearch=true$Ntt=duramax |

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

Wonderful, wonderful paint for black cabinets. |

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. |
