what type paint is best for a cab done in formica countertop material?

I am wanting to paint one in black and not have it too shiny but not real dull either and I was wondering wich type stick's best without flaking or wearing out easily?

Krylon has a new plastic spray paint that might be good.

I experimented with the Krylon (H20?) on Formica brand laminate and the results weren't good.  Scratched off pretty easily with my fingernail.
