To paint Formica countertops, you'll need to use a strong durable paint like laminate paint, interior acrylic paint, or a two-part epoxy paint that's water based. Once you have your paint, apply 2 coats of a primer, which will help the paint adhere to thecountertops. Let the primer dry after each coat.
