An HVLP is the way to go. And watch a few Youtube videos of The Idaho Painter. He's got very informative videos online. I haven't painted professionally in years but still watch some his stuff from time to time.
LOTS of prep work that has to be done right. Otherwise the first scratch will go all the way to bare wood.

If you're not familiar with whatever process you decide on- I would hire it out. That's a real 'high profile' project to be learning on, or screw up.
Enough of this idle chit-chat. This ain't no retirement home. EVERYONE! Get back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.

I hired people to do ours. The first day was nothing but prep work. Every square inch of the unpainted area was covered in plastic.
I should also say that it wasn't easy finding a painter who was interested in painting cabinets.

You can spay a cat or dog with paint? I have. Hardest part is getting the distance right for full coverage. Spaying ain't easy.

If you don't know positively what the cabinets are finished with, there are a few steps to take. First you need to clean all the surfaces with TPS alternative. Then you need to prime with oil based Zinzer or shellac based Zinzer. then sand your primer. After that get rid of all of the dust and for a professional looking finish spray with a HVLP sprayer, Fuji Semi-pro is a good model for the price about $450.00. The best paint We have been using lately is Break Through made by Pittsburg paint or as most people know it Ppg. The Break Through dries fast so you can touch or even sand it after about 20 minutes. It makes a super smooth finish comparable to oil based paint both in hardness and smoothness.
You will need 2 or 3 coats sanding with 220 between each one . Good luck and watch for runs
