I am surprised that the "pro" is having you purchase materials, and even more surprised that he isn't telling you what to buy. My brother is a professional painter (as was my dad), and we had him refinish our bathroom cabinets. I may be biased, but the cabinets came out looking like a factory finish. Prep work, product and an expert spray job are the key components to a great job. Make sure he removes all of the doors and drawers and sprays them at a shop having an ultra clean environment. It takes many coats to produce the desired finish.
I can ask my brother what product to use, but I highly recommend that you go with someone who can handle it for you.
