There are kits for that sold at Home Depot and step by step instructions are in the kit. Have fun
Check out YouTube.
Make sure to sand and clean the surface and then try out the XIM Bonding Primer - it should adhere to the formica - apply at least two coats and then allow to dry for 24-48 hours before painting on your base coat. You will want a very durable top coat so check out the General Finishes products - I believe they have something that will work. Always plan to use cutting boards and no prep on the counters - they may require maintenance over the years but can be a fun way to create something new - https://shop.artisticpaintingstudio.com/
