Can I paint Formica ?

[Huckins]

Just about to Tackle another project on the Huckins .in the owner stateroom there are a number of small cubby holes which seem to have a Formica like material .

Question is it possible to paint theses and get a decent finish and if so has anyone any ideas as to which paint etc to use ??

Thanks

When we bought our boat it had an ugly orange colored formica counter top. My wife hated it - I could care less but you know how it goes - so I painted it white - I used epoxy paint - forgot which brand - You gotta sand it down so you can get some bite - so far so good - holding up ok.
