Hi Recca, formica counters can be updated with paint. Rustoleum and Gianni offer kits with all the instructions and all the necessary paints. Look at Rustoleum Transformations products, but if you want to create your very own unique counter you can do so using the small bottles of acrylic paints available at craft stores. Many Hometalkers have posted about their success. https://www.hometalk.com/diy/paint/furniture/painted-countertops-from-laminate-to-granite-34306684

I covered mine with contact paper which lasted 3 years until I got tired of it and peeled it off. It never faded or ripped even using heavy duty cleaning sprays on it. I've posted a before and after picture.
I painted mine with Benjamin Moore advance paint and primer about $40 each. They are holding up well !
