Default Formica over formica?

The formica countertops in our kitchen are ugly and have some stains.
Replacement is not in the budget.

Is is possible to lay new formica over the existing? I'd want it to
last 5 years.

If possible, what's the procedure? Remove caulking, sand with 80 grit?
60 grit? Apply contact cement, laminate, roll, then trim edges?

Advice is appreciated.
