I’m doing a cabinet restore now as well. I wound up “splitting the difference”. That is, I wanted to keep the factory look, but yet freshen up the interior a bit.
Removed all hardware and labels. Sanded the sides to get rid of the spills and gunk. Sprayed cab paint about halfway down each side (extended about 2 inches below the factory edge).
Result turned out pretty good - smells nice, cleaned up the sides and retained factory ‘look’.
