Last, what type paint should I use to refinish, it will be 'flat' luster.
Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated !

There are products that will cover the poly but I would still give them a light sanding and wash them with solvent.
I had my kitchen cabinets professionally done and they came out great, but they do tend to chip more easily than factory painted cabinets.
Oil base paints tend to stick better and take more abuse than latex.
I would go to a store that deals mostly in paint, like Sherman Williams or Benjiman more.
It's a lot of work to go through and have it not last.
