How upfront should I be with a potential buyer about home flaws?

Hi All

I'm selling my primary residence FSBO. I am in a very desirable neighborhood and have gotten multiple request from potential buyers simply by word of mouth. The house is in immaculate condition aside from what i consider to be two flaws.

(1) the kitchen cabinets have been repainted, but were not done perfectly, so there are some aesthetic flaws that you really have to scrutinize to find

(2) there are three bathroom cabinets that have water damage on the bottom surfaces from previous leaks that I did not catch in time

I've done a few showings on my own, and have not pointed out these flaws. i fully expect these flaws to be caught by any inspector who does a thorough job.

What should I do in the showings?  I am not sure that i should be pointing out flaws in the home is a good idea.  But on the flip side, i dont want to be caught lying by omission.

Can anyone offer any good advice on how they would approach this?
