Sure you can, but the problem is the scratches and blemishes you will see as they wear. You can buy a granite countertop painting kit, I have used it before and it turns out looking great and masks any imperfections in the counters. You can paint over laminate or formica.

There are before and after pictures and a video of how to do it here: http://store.westsidedecoratingcenter.com/Granite-Countertop-Paint-Kit-Granite.htm (02/01/2010)

Check with your local hardware store to see what paints will stick to formica without peeling with water being around or on it. (02/05/2010)
