How do I do a resin countertop?

I have the old 80's style drab boring countertop but don't have the $ to replace it right now. I was thinking that a resin counter would be fun and add some flare but not sure where to start.

    Find YouTube videos for stone coat countertops. Sift through and you’ll find detailed how-to videos. I haven’t used them, yet, but am getting ready to.

    It all depends on what your existing countertop and items like sinks impact the project. A better bet may be the paint kits sold to paint old plastic laminate (Formica, etc.) countertops. A resin probably would be messy and labor intensive.

      Thanks Ken! It is the old formica (couldn't think of that when asking the question) with a stainless steel sink. Does the paint seal as well as resin?

    I have heard that the paint does a great job and the colors are various. You would need to remove the sink if doing a resin. It probably stays in place with the paint.
