If you are just going to paint it, we'd recommend you just use AFM SafeCoat Transitional Primer followed by AFM SafeCoat Zero VOC Paint. Just these two products alone work in conjunction to seal in off gassing from formaldehyde and other chemical preservatives.If you wished a clear coat over the Zero VOC Paint to help protect the paint job, Acrylacq would be our recommendation for cabinets.You can check out this document on which AFM products work best against off gassing: https://www.greenbuildingsupply.com/core/media/media.nl?id=404766&c=772072&h=wF
