Yes, you can paint over Formica cupboards, but proper preparation is essential for a successful finish. Start by cleaning the surface thoroughly and lightly sanding it to create a rough texture for better paint adhesion. Use a high-quality primer designed for slick surfaces, followed by a durable paint suitable for cabinets, such as acrylic or enamel. Allow adequate drying time between coats for the best results.

Can you paint over your formica kitchen cabinets?
Painting FormicaWe painted over some type of plastic/vinyl-coated paneling a few years ago with a latex paint. First, we primed it. It looked very nice until the first time it became nicked. You could peel the paint off easily in large sheets. Since it was such a small area, we decided to peel it completely off and tackle it first with sandpaper to rough the surface up. It worked OK and the paint is still holding, but our space was only about 4 x 6'.I wouldn't recommend doing cabinets, because they are handled so often. You would have to be certain to rough every inch of the cabinets. However, if you are just going to throw them away anyway, you have nothing to lose by trying.Another idea to cover up your old formica cabinets would be to build a new front for them, and screw them right on top of the formica. The cabinet base could be sanded and then painted. First, though, check to see if the formica will hold the paint before spending too much time or money.
