Can you paint granite.
Can you paint granite countertop.
Instead of springing for thousands of dollars worth of new granite she opted to try granite look countertop paint from giani which is sold in a kit that covers 35 square feet of surface area for about 70 the paint is designed to cover laminate solid surface.
Meanwhile paint your own kits which go for roughly 80 can be applied over the top of pretty much any existing counter from laminate to tile to drywall to wood.
Actually i think you could paint over any unattractive countertops and make them fit your taste.
The average granite countertop costs between 3 000 and 5 000 to install.
Do not sponge the whole countertop with one color and allow it to dry before adding.
This kitchen had perfectly serviceable laminate countertops but the owner wanted a more luxurious look.
Remember to work on one 2 foot section of counter at a time.
Yes you can but you will need to prepare for your painting project ahead of time.
If you press the sponge too firmly on the counter you ll end up with a big blob of paint.
I recommend to anyone who is thinking of painting a granite surface to start with a small project in the home such as a granite fireplace surround and use an oil based paint.
For the veining effect she took some of the silver and gray paint dipped a feather in it and ran it over the top randomly.
I do not recommend starting out with kitchen or bathroom countertops those are big projects and you want to see how the surface will wear with different uses.
It s a common scenario.
Want to see how i painted floor tile.
