I have a Murphy bed that is laminated, can I paint it?

It's very light and supposed to look like blonde wood, it goes with none of our dark furniture, how can I change it? Is the compressed sawdust type fake wood so removing the laminate is not an option. Paint? Paneling? Chalk paint? We'd like to keep it.
Hi Nicole! I love your Murphy bed! Treat it like you would paneling. Wash the surface, dry, then lightly sand and coat with primer before painting.
Yes you can paint it easily...I did the following my kitchen, bath, family room cabinets:
Clean, prime with Zinsser Bullseye 1-2-3 primer and then paint your finish coat. Your primer can be tinted the same color as your finish coat.
Thank you so much! I appreciate the primer name and I'm guessing the finish coat can be bought with the same brand.
I agree! Clean, lightly sand to remove any gloss and roughen the surface for paint. Prime with a good stain blocking primer. I like Kilz. Then paint your color. Seal with at least three coats of a water based polyurethane. I like Minwax.
Your welcome. Just prepare your workspace and paint. It's so easy to paint and it will amaze you the different works.
