@geegerbee curious if you made a decision. I have a 22 year old house with beautiful oak cabinets. They are darker oak and arched on top and look very out of style. My kitchen is very dark. I do have a lot of cabinets and drawers. I got one estimate for painting that was over $5300 and he wasn't sure the grain would not show thru. I have granite counter tops that are 15 years old. I may replace at some point but not right now. I found someone that replaces but he has been putting me off for two months to come out and give me an estimate. I did get another estimate yesterday that they would make custom doors and drawer fronts and paint a lighter color. That estimate came in around $7000. I am leaning towards that. I was thinking if the painting came in around $2500 I would probably try that and possibly in 10 years reface or replace.
I would say if the one estimate is saying they don't know if the grain will show or not after painting I would not go with them. Yes you can paint Oak cabinets so you don't see the grain. There are lots of pictures online.
