Dont use gloss in fact consider satin gloss - the less shine the better - since any imperfection in the cleaning / sanding/ striping will be magnified. and it is almost impossible to get it perfect also consider oil based paint enamel for a harder finish.

Not glossy! Adrian J Naquin Interior gives very good advice. I agree.

We painted kitchen cabinets and the result was attractive--and durable.

One thing I credit my husband with is choosing an off-white, not white-white paint. Our molding/trim and doors in that house were white-white, but so many cabinets looked better just not so bright white...

Good luck and Happy Decorating!

Satin is more common because it does not show every imperfection on your substrate. High Gloss is an option usually for new cabinets or perfect surfaces.
