Would like to paint a double sink Formica countertop in a bathroom,
has anyone had any success at this?

Have you considered having your countertop covered with a
new layer of Formica? They glue it right over the old.

Just a thought.

I agree. Don't remove the old top, just put the new right over the
old.

I agree.. and if you have a fine tooth skill saw or table saw.. and a
router.. maybe even a dremel with router type bit.. it's not a hard
job. Follow instructions on using contact cement.
You simply install new formica.. then remove the parts you don't want
with rotozip, dremel or router..

you really need a flush-trim bit for the router or Rotozip(1/4" shank),I do
not believe such a bit exists for a Dremel(1/8" shank).

Of course,you can get a 1/4" trim router from Harbor Freight for $20,on
sale.
