[quote=Anonymous]I am the OP on another thread who asked if people had successfully painted their laminate countertops.  I'd like to explore changing the look of my basement kitchenette laminate countertops, with an eye on resale.  Based on PPs suggestions, painting it would be a bad idea.  I don't want to to to the hassle of changing the laminate, either.

Then, how about something like "instant granite" -- basically, a peel and stick granite film.  The advantage is that it won't peel, like paint, and can easily be removed down the road, by me or an eventual new owner.  From pictures online, it looks like it would be an improvement over the existing countertop.  Or will it look too tacky?  The main kitchen of the house looks fantastic.  (This is a $900k home, fwiw, and I am aware a basement kitchenette countertop will not be a deciding factor when selling, and that I might as well leave the countertop alone).
