Hi, I have a brown front table that I want to change to grey to match the rest of my grey westy atlantic interior. Have sourced grey table edging, but does anyone know where I can get some grey (or thereabouts) formica type sheeting so that I can cover the brown table top? Thanks in advance

Am I the only person on this Forum who has a 'Google' button on their iMAC ? Even my old steam powered PC had one....

3m X 1.2m grey formica sheet is £82 from http://www.buttles.com - a bit more than you expected I reckon. It used to be available from diy stores but haven't seen any for years. Full sheet from manufacturers is appx. £195!

Thanks for your reply Fritz. I had been Googling and found the site you mention but large sheets of the stuff only, and very expensive. All I really wanted was a small bit of grey formica to glue onto the top of a small front table. I wanted to turn a brown table top into a grey one to match the rest of my westy interior. Just thought that someone on here knew a place that did cut-to-size formica. May use sticky backed vinyl as a cheaper option

If it is already Formica a rub down with fine wet or dry and spraying then lacquer might be the easiest way forward.
It's readily available in Australia - it's because they are about 25 years behind us and are just coming out of the seventies!

Shopfitting manufacturers usually have racks of the stuff in offcuts it all depends on what they have been using recently.....

Thanks Oldiebut goodie Looks like the formica idea is a non-starter. Might try that "Plastikote" spray paint, available from B&Q and The Range

Whey-hey! Got grey laminate sheet from Homebase
