Do I need to prime my cupboards before painting?

Yes, it provides a durable soft-touch finish that is designed to stand up to daily spills and splatters, making it ideal for the demands of a busy kitchen environment.
Can this paint be applied directly to metal cabinets?

Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or uneven after drying.
Ensure surfaces are properly cleaned and lightly sanded if glossy. Apply paint in thin, even coats, working in one direction. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.
Paint is not adhering well or is peeling.
Poor adhesion often results from inadequate surface preparation. Ensure the surface is thoroughly clean, dry, and free of grease or loose debris. Sanding glossy surfaces creates a 'key' for the paint. If knots are bleeding through, ensure they were properly primed before painting.
Knots or dark stains are showing through the paint.
This indicates 'bleed-through'. Although a primer isn't always needed, areas with knots or potential stains *must* be primed with a suitable knotting solution or stain-blocking primer before applying this paint.
Paint takes longer than an hour to be touch dry.
Humidity and temperature can affect drying times. Ensure the room is well-ventilated and within recommended temperature ranges. Applying excessively thick coats will also prolong drying. Try applying thinner coats.
