Eric,

Normally wouldn't recommend this, but if stripping and light sanding is successful and you have a smooth fiberboard result. How about spraying the cabinet w/primer and a high gloss black paint. Of course first removing all items/trim and carefully masking other areas. Like me, you live in So. Ca. and the weather is warm enough right now. Paint in a well ventilated area. Just a suggestion.
