Tricky? Yes. Impossible? No.
You will need to at least sand to give the finish some tooth to grip the paint. Select a furniture grade paint if you can afford it and find it in your area or seal it after with a highgrade clear varnish like marine varnish. You will want to take the door off and paint it seperate from the base cabinet. Remove all hardware, etc. And be prepared that unless you sand and/or strip first and use a good sealant, it will likely chip where it is most used or touched.
If you Google around, there are MANY great DIY sites and blogs with step by step instructions and product recommendations.
That said, I LOVE painted furniture and I think a vanity cabinet in a bathroom is a great place to get started!
Good luck!!!!
