Hi I have done the same for a cabinet in my living room. It was a pine wood colour and I tried to change it by coloring it with a strong orange matt colour. In the beginning I tried to paint the new colour from inside just to make sure it looks good. You can do the same by painting it from the back so that it is not so obvious if you want to repaint a different colour. Also, DIY shop can give you advice the type of paint to use. It is not so expensive, around $10 for a can and it can be used for a long time. Hope it works for you. Good luck.
