You need to clean them really well, scuff sand with 220 grit sandpaper and then prime with a good bonding primer like STIX. Then you can paint. I would recommend sherwin williams emerald trim and door paint or benjamin moore advance
Hi Tina
This tutorial is so cool. They add trim to Formica Cabinets to make them look updated! It looks awesome once finished.

I used ENVIROTEX resin. Totally ok around food and they use it on bar tops. I painted my kitchen countertops with stone spray and made it look granite like. Then poured envirotex resin on top of it. You might want to make a frame for the sides of the countertop because the edges are tricky to get a smooth finish. But whatever you do, cover the lower cabinets with plastic because when it gets poured, it will drip down off the sides. Then you use a blow torch to get all the bubbles out. Follow the directions on the box and you will love the result. For a few years after we did it, people thought it was granite. It's a great product and our countertops have held up for years now. I think we used 5-6 boxes of envirotex for our countertops. Totalling around $300. hope this helps. It definitely has extended our old pink laminate countertops for another 5-6 years before we can afford real granite or quartz. Good Luck!
