A few years ago I oil based primed and painted my wood kitchen cabinets
I've had no problem with chipping or peeling. My question is... I
would like to repaint them a different color. Should I oil base prime
and them paint over the existing paint or just paint over the existing
paint? Any suggestions?

A hardware store guy who never steered me wrong said that if paint is intact
and in good condition, there was no reason to prime it. Just make sure it's
clean, and that you don't leave any residue from whatever you clean it with.
As far as the method, I think I'd lean toward spraying the cabinet doors,
since they're so easy to remove and set up over an ocean of newspapers
surrounded by cardboard walls.

No need to prime, just degloss existing paint either by sanding or
chemically (TSP) and be sure the surface is clean.
