Hi Linda regular acrylic paint and primer will work just fine. I would lightly hand sand the entire piece and clean it thoroughly first. I would also put a couple of coats of a sealant over it after you paint to give it some protection.
Chalk paint is awesome for laminate furniture. Laminate furniture cannot be sanded a lot due to the fact that it isn't real wood! Chalk paint adheres to just about any surface without sanding. If you do have scratches that you need to remove, you can lightly sand it with 220 grit sandpaper. Hope this helps! You can visit www.christinafayerepurposed.com for furniture makeover tutorials.
