Painting melamine can be a little challenging but it is possible. You will need to sand the table lightly using a fine grit sandpaper in order for the paint to adhere, then you will need to prime it either using an oil based primer or a primer made especially for melamine. Once it is primed and dry, you can paint it using melamine paint.
Melamine is actually a good surface to work on. There is a faux technique known as "Faux Bois" which is wood-graining. You can buy tools to get this affect but education about "how to" would be a good start. People such as myself, do nothing else but specialize in faux techniques. If you're creative and have patience you're in the running as having done a successful job. If your not, consult a decorative artist/faux finisher to get it done right .
The melamine and aluminum oxide wont let the finish stay long term and it wont look good in the short term either.
They want to either look, psycho, crazy, or gothic. Or they like to do it. :)
The best paint you are likely to find is 'melamine' based paint. I use it a lot for cupboard doors. - Frankly, I wouldn't bother painting a countertop because no paint will stand up to daily use as a countertop and it will soon look tacky.. It's very easy to buy a sheet of laminate and fit it . Many stores sell 2x 4 sheets now.
Mixing a darker shade of green in with olive green paint can make it look more like sage green paint. This may be done in small quantities easier than in a larger amount.

Melamine is a synthetic material frequently used to cover rough edges of cheap particle board or plywood. In this case maple melamine means it is melamine that has been decorated to try to look like wood.
