If your painted cabinets were prepped but the paint scratches easy can you polyurethane over to help seal them?
If the paint scrathes off easily then it wasnt prepped properly. I dont recommend polyurethane over paint that is peeling. Your best bet is to prep them properly and repaint. First strip all the old (new) paint that is peeling down to bare wood. You should prime with a good oil based stain blocking primer like Kilz. After that fully dries any good paint will do, but an oil based paint will hold up better over the long haul. If you decide you are going to try and coat the existing job, then use varnish instead of polyurethane. But I highly advise against doing this.
