Most semi-gloss paint is enamel which is extremely hard when dry. Semi-gloss enamel is used in kitchens, bathrooms and on doors, door jambs and cabinets because it holds back moisture and because it can be cleaned with soap and water. I can assure you that whatever type of food stains you are finding on you kitchen cabinets ( you must have kids :-) will occur as well on any sealer you might apply. If proper coverage was given when the semi-gloss was applied to your cabinets you should be able to wash them as often as you like without any problems.

To paint over veneered cabinets in a kitchen, Sherwin-Williams puts out a paint just for cabinets that dries very hard. Ben Moore has a line also but the color choices were limited. The S-W paint also self primes so unless you have extremely dark cabinets and you want them to be very light, 2 coats should be fine.

Can gloss latex paint be changed to satin latex paint?
LOL...no sorry, it will just be a bit shinier than anticipated. (gloss is quite scary if painted over an entire wall - better for trim and cabinets, etc)
Should you get Softouch or Gloss when I order Dre Beats off of Colorwarecom?
Gloss personally looks smarter and more stylish, but softouch is more of a practical design due to stains not showing as much on the headphones. Softouch also has a nicer feel than the gloss material.

What should you do if you restained your bathroom cabinets without removing the old stain and they looked great but now that you have put on polyurethane they look very bad with white strips and spots?
Sorry, but you have a fairly big job ahead of you. You are going to have to sand (use fine grit sandpaper) and be sure you get both stains completely off. You can also go to your hardware store and ask if they have an solution to your problem. Good luck! MY 2 cents --- Before you start stripping all the finish off lets figure out what the white streaks and spots are from. If you have used a satin or flat finish poly on the cabinets without first applying a sealer coat the white streaks may be from the flatting agent in the polyurethane. If this is the case it can be fixed without stripping. To find out do a spot test by applying a gloss polyurethane over white streaks, if the white goes away the white spots and streaks are from the flattener in the poly you applied. Solution is to light sand cabs, apply a coat of gloss to the cabinets and let dry. The white streaks and spots should now be gone. Next light sand the cabinets and apply the satin or flat poly you used the first time and this time you will not have the white strips and spots. ___________ You just got some serious great advice. One thing you should check first though...make sure your poly and stains are compatible.

If its metal then it'll crack easily. The best thing to do is to get sandpaper and rough up the exterior of the flute to help the paint stick. Also, use a sealer or gloss afterwards.
