I have been searching a lot and can only find matte ones in the retro style... i would really like to replace them with the glossy/formica style. any ideas . Mine are white with gold flecks but have pink stains in places.. maybe ideas on how to get rid of the stains would save me a lot of work.

A lot of times you can bleach the stains out, also try a magic eraser and acetone on a spot that doesn't show. I removed black hair dye from a vinyl floor with a magic eraser, acetone, and elbow grease. It doesn't show at all, but if you look closely the finish is slightly dulled. Bleach is safer.
Also if it is just one spot, some people have mixed up paint and Faux finished over the stains.
I am personally doing new custom counters with gold stars and glitter chips, using resin. There are a lot of options.
There is an online site called Hefrons that sells vintage countertop.. for a price.

Yes.. private message me for contact info. Also here is a link to a thread where I talked about my counter-top project. I just ordered the stars, and will be buying high quality glitter (is there such a thing..? lol) as well. It's an easy project, just needs patience. Lady Wendolyn's counter project |
