Question:
I am renovating my kitchen and wish to avoid high costs. Is there an effective method or product to paint a laminate countertop?

Melamine paint will do the job. Before painting, sand, clean with TSP, and apply a good oil primer. Sanding will ensure better adhesion, and cleaning with TSP will get rid of any built-up dirt and grease. Some people feel the primer is unnecessary, but it will seal the old surface and make the finished product more durable.
