If you are having a bespoke cabinet made then tell the cabinet maker/Joiner to leave it in the white ie not treated then you can apply your own finish. Simple

You can paint anything as long as you prepare all the surfaces. You would have to take the wax off sand it down and wipe down with white spirit and use an acrylic primer . Then a couple of coats of your chosen colour.
