easiest way to paint cabinets?

two guides say completely different things about how to paint cabinets. the house is a north-facing room that never dries fast. does it need anything special, or is it just patience? cheers.

Doors off and painted flat. fewer drips, and you can do both sides properly. number each door and its hinges with a bit of tape so they go back where they came from. degrease, light scuff sand, bonding primer, then two thin coats of a proper cabinet or enamel paint - foam roller on the flat panels, small brush for the edges. then leave them a few days before rehanging. they feel dry in hours but they're not hard yet, and that's when they chip.
