You can see the before and after in my photos but this color was AMAZING and transformed my dated kitchen. KRUD KUTTER PC32 pre-paint cleaner/TSP replacement. I have read many reviews of this cleaner and heard that it is great for removing oils and dirt and really works wonders. I think I sanded the cabinets. Then I primed the cabinets with a special wood primer. After the primer has dried. I used Nuvo paint on the cabinets. I applied 4 very thin coats of paint. It is extremely important that each layer is very thin as it dries strangely. I've found that the paint can crack in the corner of a closet where the paint floats a bit, so make sure you keep thin coats. I also bought normal brushes with this set. Several blogs said they used foam brushes, but I didn't like the way they applied paint to the cabinets.
