Yes, you can paint kitchen worktops, but it depends on the material and the finish you want. Here's a quick guide: 

✅ Suitable Worktops for Painting:

• Laminate: Can be painted, but needs good surface prep.
  
  

• Wood: Easy to paint and gives good results.
  
  

• Composite/Resin: Possible, but needs sanding and priming.
  
  

• Stone (Granite/Quartz): Not recommended — paint won’t adhere well long-term.
  
  

🛠️ Steps to Paint Kitchen Worktops:

1. Clean thoroughly: Remove grease and dirt.
   
   

2. Sand the surface: To help paint adhere.
   
   

3. Apply primer: Use a bonding primer suitable for the surface.
   
   

4. Paint: Use durable paint (e.g., oil-based or specialist countertop paint).
   
   

5. Seal: Apply a clear topcoat or resin for protection.

⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind:

• Painted worktops won’t be as durable as factory finishes.
  
  

• Heat, moisture, and cutting can damage paint.
  
  

• Use trivets and cutting boards to protect the surface.
