The PO had painted the melamine tops with white latex paint.

I'm sure it looked wonderful three years ago, but damp and humidity have
lifted huge lumps of it leaving the blue melamine showing through here
and there like a disease.

So to start a freshening up exercise, I took the refrigerator lid home,
stripped it down the blue and sprayed it with white refrigerator paint
from Home Depot.

Looks terrific, so now I'm off to the boat to do the rest of the galley
area..

Let's hope in three years it still looks good!

If the melamine is still stuck on tight, why not strip the paint and
return the countertop finish to original?

Thinking like a previous owner, I'd guess they were hiding something.
