This is a Particle board covered with veneer dresser. I have sanded, primed, and used 2 coats of black flat interior paint. The paint is completely dry, but it can be scratched off to reveal the Kilz underneath... What can I do to "seal" it? I dont want to have to constantly worry about having to touch up.

Both Kilz and paint are same type.

I would get "Acrylic paint" and a glaze.
Mix One Part Glaze to Five Parts Paint. Then paint the surface with this custom glaze. The paint will do two things, give you color and give you time. Time to work with the glaze since it is a fast drying mixture of its own. If you apply it directly you will have very, very little time to work with it if this is needed. However, if you don't need a lot of time, you may want to adjust the mixture so you are mixing three maybe four to one glaze.
I am thinking the glaze is almost as fast as shellac is by itself. Which dries so fast that you can coat a dresser drawer, and by the time you coat it one time you can instantly go back and recoat a second coat cause the point you started is already dry.
For you, you really may want to remove that paint already applied since it is pealing so easy, the surface should be roughed a litle before applying this, and that roughing may very well remove this existing paint anyhow. Don't use too fine sandpaper to rough, I'd probably go with 100 Grit paper.

Is the Kilz the same type paint (latex/enamel) as the paint you are covering with? This needs to be the same. Although I have never sanded Kilz before recoating, it may be necessary.

Enamel. Get something to clean your brushes with, it's not water based. Ask where you buy the paint to get the right kind.
