    Just like painting any laminate. Wash the table with TSP! Lightly sand to remove any gloss and create a tooth for paint. Prime with KILZ or BIN. Paint with acrylic paint. Seal with two coats of water based polyurethane sanding in between coats.

    William is correct for regular paint - but if you use chalk paint there is no prep, just start painting! That is my favorite way to paint furniture!

    Just a question- What is "sunmica"? Formica laminate by a manufacturers name? And yes William has got the process for regular paint down pat; Marketing Momx4 is also right about chalk paint. You get to make a lovely choice! Good luck.

      Sunmica is a form of plastic laminate native to India and the Far East.
