My cabinets are compressed board with a faux walnut finish, how can I paint them a color?

Check your local hardware store for advice, Kathy. (People who work there are usually most helpful.) It may involve not only cleaning the cabinets thoroughly, but also sanding them a bit before applying paint.
Good luck!

Is that faux walnut finish like a plastic type of contact paper? My mom's (l980-ish) kitchen had that. I would think that the Krylon plastic paint would do a nice job. Take your cabinet doors off and spray outside to keep the fumes down. I have used the Krylon paint on outdoor furniture and it has withstood two summers and is still looking good, so surely it would withstand use in a kitchen.
Use a coat of Kilz as a primer, then paint any color you like. If using a bright or deep color, have the Kilz tinted to a close color.
