There is a product you can find at home depot called Cabinet Rescue. I used this on the same type of cabinets in my bathroom. It is a special primer that is made to bond with laminate. You just apply the primer, allow it to completely dry, then within 6 hours apply your desired paint, we used the same latex we used on a wall in another room, and have had NO scratches at all.

    First you have to sand everything to make the primer and paint stick properly. You don't have to sand tons, just enough to rough things up a bit. Then apply primer. Then paint. I would remove the doors to do the cabinet part first.
