Were your cabinets sealed (clear top coat) after being primed and painted?
This was over 30 years ago. It wasn't recommended by anyone I spoke with. That sounds like a good idea.

When I wanted to update my cupboards last year, it was recommended Not to paint them. The paint wears off, especially around the handles. I went with a cupboard renewal which consisted of replacing the doors and drawers with real wood in white. The drawers were completely new, soft-closing drawers, not just face plates. The cupboard doors were also soft-closing. I am very satisfied with my choice. I wouldn't contact the painter who doesn't respond. Bet he wouldnt finish the job or it would take extra long. I would go to Sherwin Williams or a lumber company and ask for a recommendation for a kitchen cupboard renewal company. I used Kitchen Tune-Up, but there are several others. Do not go with a company that just uses a veneer--make sure it is real wood they are replacing the doors with.

With almost every project I've had involving painters, there have been issues. Poor communication and reliability, with a clock timezone hours off from mine. They definitely are in their own head zone.
I used to get upset with them, too, telling my husband I thought they'd been inhaling too many paint fumes. Of course, it didn't help for them to take lunch and return with a large beer in a brown paper bag. Oh yes, stories to tell here...

I had a painting company recommended to me and they did a great job doing most of my interior....especially removing old popcorn on some ceilings....they were supposed to come back three weeks later to do the bathroom...no-show...so I called and the owner apologized and said he had written down the wrong date and we rescheduled...no show again. I am done with him, I am not chasing him down to work for me...but now can't find a competent bath and tile person anywhere. Was so close to being finished! I hate this! BTW, we did alabaster by Sherwin Wms and bright reflective white on ceilings...love them both.

I did the same and actually, the paint quote was just a two or three hundred less than getting new doors and drawer fronts and soft closure. He painted the cabinet boxes. Looks great, like I spent a lot more than I did, although it was far from cheap.
