Using the Cover-stain is a great idea. You can put a good semi-gloss latex paint right over it. Whatever you do, don't let anyone talk you into using pigmented shellac (BIN). It will stick well to the old cabinets, but most top-coats will peel right off, especially in a kitchen or bath area with lots of moisture. After the cabinets are completely done(no more touch-ups)and you are COMPLETELY SATISFIED with the results, let the paint dry for at least a day, then spray them with a very light coat of silicone spray. This will keep the paint from "blocking" or sticking to itself for the first 30 days while the paint cures. REMEMBER- any overspray on your floor will be slippery, so lay down some newspapers first.
