It's just a fomica laminate. If you don't mind the work, take it out and apart and replace the fomica. Some of the thinner peices that sep the strip lighting might be easiet to just start from scratch. I have mine apart installing the AC unit. Not that bad of a project.
Don't know about painting over. Might chip easily.

Bolted down from the inside along the bottom outer edge, LONG screws. I found it easist to remove the sink and cooler 1st and work thru those holes. Then remove the nuts on the counter bottom side to remove the top half with the strip lights from the counter base, then the base mounting screws. Proabably less than an hr of time. 1/2 to scope it out, 1/2 to actually do it. Mine had 1 backrest bolt thur it also, but I removed the back along with the seat all together for ease of working in there. The top had to be removed from the base on mine just to get it out the door anyways.
