One idea we had at UBQ industries was to overlay a Corian countertop with plain grey stampable overlay, stain and seal it. It came out beautiful and everyone loves it. Easy to clean and unique in design!

Step 1 - Shut off water supply and remove faucet
Step 2 - Mask or tape off everything you don't want overlay or stay to get on. We built a small base under the lip of the countertop and taped off the walls and mirror near the backsplash.
Step 3 - Cover the sink and countertop with wire mesh and screw directly into counter.
Step 4 - Mix your stampable overlay and start slapping that stuff on the counter. Do not pound with knuckles. Work quickly and efficiently in small areas around the surface gently pressing into the mesh. Start stamping as soon as have a workable surface

Step 5 - Finish any stamping, add faux cut lines and gentle press the faucet into place as to create a small indent for it to rest.
Step 6 - After the overlay has cured out (usually 24 hours or more), apply your concrete stain. This backsplash is English Mahogany and the base is Desert Fire.

Step 7 - Clean and neutralize the concrete acid stain and brush on the sealer

Total time on project was about 8 hours but it took a weekend to get it finished with all the cure times having to be factored.
