They don't want to replace anything (carpet, flooring, counter tops) since the house is not ready to sell anytime soon.
Not really a good idea to paint countertops. If you decide to try it use a paint that is NSF approved for food contact surfaces. You will find yourself having to repaint them a lot, there's more wear and tear on counters than you think until you put an easily scuffed surface on them.
BTW I was a kitchen & bath remodelor for 14 years, with my own company, EYEPLAY RENOVATIONS.
