@kvphoto The units were originally pine. About 5 yrs ago I took the plunge after watching lots of YouTube videos and painted the cabinets a v pale green. It took a long long time as they had to be thoroughly cleaned and sanded, 3 coats of sealer and 2 of topcoat, sanding in-between each coat. It paid off because after 5 yrs I had one tiny chip of paint missing . However, the colour had yellowed so I took the plunge again. Much cheaper than buying new cabinets, can actually be quite therapeutic!
