painting non wood cabinets?

[REItobe]

I have some cabinets where the doors are therma foil i believe and the cabinets are therma foil or laminate. Is it possible to paint these? Its for resell and we need a really nice looking finish.

The cabinets have grease on them and we have tried bleach and several degreasers and cleaning products and the stain is still obvious. Anyone have a way to clean these?

I'm not familiar with therma foil, but laminate is paintable. I've personally never done it, so I can't address durability. Remove grease to the best of your ability, sand with #120 grit sandpaper, apply a quality oil-based primer/sealer and paint it.

If the stains are apparent after all you've done, I'd think that the finish was breached and the laminate (and therma foil?) absorbed some of the grease leaving a stain that can't be removed.
