If I understand correctly - the paint is peeling?
This was probably caused by lack of prep [cleaning/sanding] and the use of the wrong type of primer. If the cabinets previously had a solvent based finish, a solvent based primer is needed to allow a latex top coat to adhere.
The only good fix I know is to remove all the failing paint :wall:

Hey thanks so much for your help.
It was really a poor prep.I used 2 coats of a water based primer sealer and 2 coats of 100% Acrylic Semi-Gloss Enamel.(Recommend by salesperson)
Should I remove the falling painting from all panel doors or only from where its falling off? How much sand?? Sorry I already messed up once I just want to make sure I really understand it before I do it again...:wall:

I'd like to say only remove what is loose but there is no way to garuntee that the rest won't pop loose later :(
If you go thru the trouble of stripping the cabinets, I would also suggest buying your primer/paint from a real paint store. They have better coatings and advice than you can get at a big box paint dept.
