Hi Annette, here are some instructions on painting a laminate floor. Good luck with your project. Completely Make Over Vinyl or Laminate Floors with Paint - Lifehacker
Jan 22, 2013 - Clean: Kelly recommends giving the floor a good scrub with heavy duty cleaner trisodium phosphate. Sand: Bust out the sander to smooth out and de-shine the floor before painting. Repair: Fill in cracks and holes with caulk from the hardware store. Prime: Standard latex primer works just fine to prep floors, too.
