We had oil based eggshell paint on our kitchen cabinets. We had them repainted using a latex pain. The painter put on a primer and then the finish coat. It has held up well except it tends to chip on the edges of the shelves and cabinet faces.
I'm sorry we didn't go back with oil based paint.
It depends on one thing, really. Was the existing paint oil based, or latex? If it was oil, you need to use primer. If it was latex, you shouldn't have too much of a problem.
