Has anyone ever painted a laminate counter top? Mine is in pretty bad condition and I really can't afford to replace it. What sort of paint do you use and what prep work is necessary?

Mo painted hers and they are incredible. Maybe someone has a pic they will post.

I've done mine as well. I used a combo of latex paints, with 5 coats of oil based poly. I'm thrilled with the results.

Wow, Shahkee, your's is beautiful too. I haven't read the directions very well. What keeps the paint on b/4 the poly. Is it the primer?

Thanks Annie and Shahkee for the help. I'm going to take some time to read through the directions before I attempt doing mine. I may not go for the faux granite look but just try to choose one color.

Wow both of you have done a phenomenal job!! If you hadn't said you painted them I would have believed you if you said you got new counters! Awesome job!
