Can I paint my counter top and give it a different look?

Yes, they make kits for that sold at Home Depot. Step by step instructions are in the kit. Have fun

Hi Anna! You sure can! I painted our white laminate countertops with a primer, oil based paint and then a two part epoxy. You can see the full details here. :)

People have used countertop refinishing kits (Giani is a popular one and comes in a wide variety of colors and "stone/marble" looks) and also created their own techniques for painting using off the shelf materials. You can find inspiration all over the internet just by doing a search and also do a quick search at Youtube for instructional and inspirational videos.
