I'm looking to touch up one of my worktops which has been badly burnt by a pan (ie the missus). Some of the damage will probably see me down to chipboard when preparing the job. I've looked into the topic and I'm confident that with patience I can tackle it if I can find the right colour match. A lot of 'melamine' paints I've seen around seem limited in thier range of colour so I'm wondering if there's an approach I can try that involves using paints not specifically designed for use with melamine (model paints such as enamel for example) and still achieve a convincing effect. I won't need large amounts of paint if just restoring this area so if I can save money by doing so then all the better.
