You will need to strip off the old pain, then sand and clean the wood. IF you want to paint it, do so, if not, stain the wood, stain again if not dark enough, then you'll need to apply one or more coats of a clear, high-quality varnish to shine and protect.

Use an electric sander and sand the faces of the cabinets. When they are smooth you can go ahead and use a stain of your choice to color the fronts again.

Once removed, sand the doors. Prime the doors with minwax wood conditioner. Paint or stain using several coats, lightly sanding between each coat
