ok, what about painting on top of laminate.  IS that possible.  What about touch up?  Can i just use some joint compound to fill a crack and paint over it?  Or should i just rip off all the laminate and start on bare wood?

The laminate looks good mostly though, i can hide most damage under t molding

I'd tend to think you'll have a tough time getting paint to stick to laminate. They do make crack filler for it, though you'd likely have to talk to a cabinet shop or distributor to find the stuff.

How could you mame such a classic?! ;)

Definetely a heat gun to the side art, and some kind of SANDABLE and PAINTABLE filler to the small crack.

You could try a good coat or two of primer on the laminate and then finish it off with color of your choice. Best to try with any paint you have laying around for costs sake. Just in case it doesn't come out how you'd like. Or you could relaminate it with something else. Then you'll either slap it on top of the old laminate, or remove the old with a heat gun and then go from there. Then take a razor blade to the sides to clean it up.

Yeah i'd just paint it if it looks ok ;)

Greens such a great color too!
