I have a chance to get white corian countertops, very cheaply. However, I dislike white. This is going to be used for a kitchen. Can I dye or color it in some way? Also, can I use something to carve the surface?

Try this site Bathtub Refinishing Referral Network - Countertop Refinishing Paint Laminates, Corian, Ceramic Tile, Cultured Marble (http://www.refinishingonline.com/countertop_paint.htm)

Have never used it but did use tub/ shower paint.

Good luck

Chuck
