You can start painting the countertops as soon as the primer is completely dry. Mix and pour some paint into the paint tray and use a new paint roller cover to apply it to the laminate countertop. Be sure to overlap each stroke to make sure you keep a wet edge. If you want to make a big impact on your kitchen or bathroom remodeling without a big investment, consider priming and painting your laminate countertops. Your local paint store can provide you with the best type of paint to use for this project. You can start painting the countertops as soon as the primer is completely dry.

Many recommend a water-based acrylic primer, paint and topcoat. Acrylic paint dries to provide the hard surface needed for heavy-duty areas, such as countertops, while water-based acrylic paint cleans with water and has few odors. Either way, you'll want to create proper ventilation in your kitchen while you paint. Turn on a fan or open a window with a mosquito net.
Using a certain type of paint isn't the key to painting countertops to make them last. I used a combination of leftover wall paint and acrylic craft paint and both were great. You don't need to buy a special countertop paint kit unless you really want to. Patch Any Cracks My formica had slight cracks in two places, so I used wood putty to patch them and fill the area.

Since the cracks I filled in were quite shallow, I didn't need to sand the patched area afterwards, but you might want to use fine-grained sandpaper if your seams aren't smooth. If you use sandpaper, be sure to wipe off fine dust with a damp cloth). I contacted a painter and he sprayed the countertop with white apoxy paint and the countertops were beautiful and lasted more than 10 years before I replaced them. But another reason is that, while I like our kitchen the way it is, I'm not entirely sure that one day we won't redo it (tearing down the wall between the kitchen and dining room to make a larger kitchen), which would mean changing the location of the counters completely.
Ever since I shared my kitchen makeover a few weeks ago, the number one question I've been asked is how are my painted laminate countertops working. Hey, I painted the countertops in my kitchen with that same paint (albeit in the color of wheat) and when it dried, I took a little spray paint with rustoleum stone effects and sprayed that thing, then when it dried, I put on 3 coats of polyurethane. If you follow me on Instagram then you already know that I painted my kitchen countertops to look like marble a few weeks ago.
