Damaged countertops

I need a fix for my countertops which are made of Formica I think. There are two burn marks as well as a spot that somehow got much lighter than the original color. It looks like a bleach spot. I am a renter with awesome landlords and don’t want to ask them to replace the counter tops. Can I paint the counter tops? I would be okay (and landlords would be) painting a few flowers or a design would be fine. Can I sand the spots and paint and seal them? I’m looking for a cheap fix. Any ideas? Btw: I love this website. I’ve gotten some really good ideas from it.

Perhaps you could find a really cool looking cutting board, and silicone it in this area, and silicone around the edges. it would looks good, and perhaps be quite useful......
I would paint it, but invest in a couple large cutting boards as well. Put a damp kitchen towel down, then your cutting board, then it will not slide around. I hace carved little "v" on one side - the vegetable side, flip over for meat.
Thank you for the compliment on our website..It is great!!
You can buy kits to refinish your countertops. It'll give your kitchen a whole new look!! then make use to always use a cutting board. I love my silicone cutting board sheet!!
Omg! You need to check out epoxy paint! You could actually paint your countertop and make it look like real granite countertop, it's gorgeous!
Here is a product that looks amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li_i1Vdr7xU

If you clean and prime first, you can use regular acrylics to paint your countertops (you know, those little craft bottles at Michael's!) We painted our countertops - started with the Gianni kit, but I added several acrylics as well. Sealed with envirotex lite for a thick (self-levels to 1/8 thickness) and glass-like finish.
