Come on guys. Step one when painting cabinets, at least if you're going for a factory finish is put the rollers/brushes away and pick up a spray gun. A FF tip on an airless or a HVLP/pressure pot setup depending on the type of equipment you have, but, unless you're going for a really rustic finish, brushes/rollers aren't going to look close to what you'd see in a painted cabinet from the factory.
Another good hint, when you're looking for cabinet paint, if they don't give tip sizes for HVLP on the back of the can, keep looking. You should be able to spray good cabinet paint through a 2.0 tip without any thinning, or a 1.7 or 1.4 with some thinning/Floetrol. If you're thinning the heck out the paint to get it through a 2.0, again, stop and go get real sprayable paint.
