Crackle Painting Countertops

I've never tried to crackel finish my countertops, but I did try to paint them at my old house. I used kitchen cabinet paint and let me tell you, what a disaster! They looked beautiful for all of a day, but as soon as they got the least bit wet the paint would peel right off. When we moved into our new house, I didn't like the ugly laminate counters there either, but didn't have the money to change them, so I went to Lowes and found countertop paint! It was brand new, because they didn't have it when I wanted to paint my old counter about a year before. Anyway, it comes in many different colors and is made special for countertops. I think it was about $20-$25 a lot less then a new counter. I love it! It worked great for me. I painted mine almost 2 years ago and it's held up nicely. I would ask someone at Lowes about the crackle, maybe if you used the countertop paint with the crackle it would work. Good luck to you.

Has anyone crackle painted kitchen countertops?
