If you have access to a router you can re-laminate the Formica with one of over 5,000 updates styles available from Wilsonart, Pionite, Formica & more.
It will last you up to 30 years, and you’ll be tired of looking at it by then, lol.
This forum is typically about coating things cheaply, and the new plastic laminate itself is cheap, considering it won’t have to be re-done in 5 years- like the Rustoleum Plastic Laminate Coating System.
If you want to see a video on this, I can find one from Formica in it. All plastic laminated are installed with contact cement. Let me know.
You can also paint it if you aren't able to replace it. Here's a tutorial that might help: https://www.bobvila.com/articles/how-to-paint-formica/
Paint it they sell kits for this very purpose. Check out the Amazon.com they carry several to choose from and read customer reviews before ordering to get some inside info on how well they worked.
