Can I Paint My Countertops?

Similarly one may ask, what kind of paint do you use on countertops?

Once you have primed the countertops, you can use a satin or semi-gloss oil-based enamel. Most are perfectly safe for food preparation, but make sure the paint store knows what that you are planning to use the paint on your countertop. For extra protection, use a urethane modified clear finish over the oil enamel.

Secondly, do painted countertops last? The trick to achieving a durable, long-lasting look lies in painting layers of thin coats (DIY experts recommend at least three, with as many as 24 hours in between each coat) in favor of one thick coat—after you've sanded down the laminate, and added a coat of primer, of course.
