When I redid my kitchen we (read as 'wife') decided on a black/white/red '50s diner theme. All cabinets and cupboards were those old metal cabinets actually from the 1950s, with 20 coats of paint on them.
As always in painting, prep is the hardest part. Scraping the old paint off and doing some minor body work I took two days vacation, masked off everything and sprayed them with a real compressor and gun. 1952 GMC truck acrylic enamel - very glossy but what a Job. I should have had an oxygen mask and tank.

I know that's not exactly what you were talking about but that's how my kitchen painting experience went. Even if yours isn't threaputic hopfully it won't be that bad.
