    My husband and I painted over our Formica vanity. We sanded the entire surface. (This will give tooth to allow the paint to adhere.)

    next we painted a stain resistant primer, Kilz. Available in your local hardware store.

    You Allow the surface to thoroughly dry. Give a light sanding before painting. Your hardware store can recommend a durable paint In the color of your choice.

    Remove the doors and hardware. Mark the doors and cabinets with tape where they go. Lightly sand the doors and cabinets to remove any gloss and roughen the surface for paint. Prime with a stain blocking primer like Zinsser 123. Then paint with your color. Seal with at least three coats with a water based polyurethane. Use a small foam roller and foam brush for a smooth finish.
