    laminate does not readily accept paint but can be prepped with primer paint that seals it first. then paint and seal with varnish.....a good heat gun and a sharp blade can remove the laminate and you could then start with base wood....assuming there is actual wood and not particle board under the laminate

    Also, chalk paint adheres to almost any surface, including particule board! You just have to clean it really well, first
