Painting Countertops

Has anyone ever painted their existing countertops? If so, is there a certain kind of paint that needs to be used? Thanks!

I can't see paint sticking to formica.

If you want to change the look, can you remove, put new formica over existing countertops and then re-install?

Sorry, didn't realize it was a personal forum.

Here's a link Video - How to Apply Countertop Transformations System for coating or refinish projects
