If they're the newer "wood grain" look, a good quality brush will work best. While you're at it, be sure to seal the top and bottom of the doors. The builder's painters either don't know any better, or are in too much of a hurry to bother. This has been about my only "quality" complaint with the TV builder.

Oh don't spray you'll have paint all over the place. I think (based on this question) you should hire a professional.

I've painted mine with a small foam roller several times. Took the door off the hinges and removed the hardware, used a couple of cheap horses from Walmart in the garage and did one side at a time. They look as good as new!
