• Cleaning and priming is also a must, poor preparation is the biggest cause of paint failures.
• Take your time.  Brushing or rolling multiple thin coats can help avoid excessive runs or drips.  Brush with the grain of the wood to hide brush strokes.  The downside of DIY is that it is virtually impossible to get a cabinet smooth finish.
