Melamine is a little tricky because it has such a slippery finish on it. I would sand it lightly, then use a really good primer. Test the primer on a small area first. If it doesn't scrap off after it dries, then paint the whole surface with it. Finish with a good quality latex enamel or acrylic paint.
There is paint made for melamine, I think it's called Cabinet Rescue. I also think the Krylon or Rustoleum spray paints designed for plastic would work.
You need to scuff the gloss off with sandpaper and coat them with a good BONDING primer. Be sure to clean the surface well first.
chalk paint will stick to almost anything.
