I haven’t moved into my modular home yet but as soon as I do... I am going to do the laminate countertops with the paint method to make it look like granite! You can do either granite look or marble look! There are tons of videos from professionals to show you how it’s done.
This way, the vinyl top looks awesome! I didn’t know they had that granite look in vinyl!!
Im still going to use my plan of painting the counters to look like granite,I have no one who could help with the vinyl. I will send in photos of step by step as soon as it’s finished!!!Wish me luck ...

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
You said you cut out around your sink. Didn't you remove the sink, or at least lift it to place the vinyl under the edges of the sink?
I'd be a bit leery of vinyl for kitchen counters. They take a lot abuse.
Cat, your counters look awesome! Looks like it’s been a few years since you’ve done them. How have they stood up to every day use? Thanks!
I’m curious—what is on your window shelf that is purple & throwing purple through-out your kitchen? It looks pretty...
Great job on your countertops!
Purplelover!
