How do you paint laminate flooring?
Help, I have laminate flooring through out my house, all in good condition but none match. Can't afford to replace it all, so thought about painting it? Has anyone done this and did it last? Thanks.

I might have answered your question elsewhere. You can paint it but so you know, you’ll have to sand them all, use a deglosser, use a quality primer, a quality floor paint, then seal. Over time the paint will wear and if the laminate peels, which it does, the paint will peel too. If your floors take a lot of abuse/use, it’ll wear fast. But, it will buy you time.

I would dissuade you from doing this. As laminate is a type of plastic, I would not think that the paint would hold up to even 'normal' household conditions. What you may end up with, after spending time and money on the project, is a very unattractive floor that doesn't meet with expectations.
The only experience I've had does show wear patterns. You might consider adding transitions where the flooring changes and a few rugs.
I would not do that
I painted mine. Sand it first. 2 coats of a good primer, 3 if anything is still showing thru. Stenciled paint and 2 coats of polyurethane. Mine is holding up well.
