I am in the process of painting my counter tops in the bath and have 2 coats of the bonding primer on so far. If anyone has used the spray paint method how did you do it?

I used the hammered paints which turned our great it gives them a metal look the seal them with one to two coats of poly. If only doing a small area I would use the spray paint it is more efficient but a little messy so don't forget about over spray.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Painting Countertops Post By lj (Guest Post) (10/07/2007) I painted our countertops and they look great. First use a good ammonia based cleaner on the counters. Then roughly sand the countertops and wash them again. Let dry. I then applied one coat of KILZ. After that dried, I painted them with black satin paint. When that finally dried, I used craft paints to marbelize the counters with greens, aquas, white and a touch of pink. Minwax acrylic topcoat was applied after paint was dry and I applied at least three coats. Countertops are shiny as I used gloss clear acrylic. Have had them for over two years now.......no chips, no cracks or blemishes and we throw all sorts of stuff on the counters and kitchen desk counter :-) Hope this helps Report Spam or Abuse RE: Painting Countertops Post by PICO (312) | (05/17/2006) Contact Use a really good primer and then a coat of melamine paint Report Spam or Abuse RE: Painting Countertops Post by ThriftyFun (3740) | (05/16/2006) Profile | Blog! | Contact Here's a previous article that may help: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf370385.tip.html Report Spam or Abuse Request: Painting Countertops Post by ThriftyFun (3740) | (10/17/2005) Profile | Blog! | Contact I have laminate for my countertops and I am intereseted in painting them until I can make up my mind about what material to replace them with.

This is a new product. By octoberbabye (Guest Post) RE: Painting Countertops 10/18/2005 Go to Thrifty Fun search near the top of your page (NOT the Google search). Choose "Home Improvement" in the first box and "Kitchen" in the second box. Scroll down the entries until you come to one with the heading that says something like "Transforming Old Formica Countertops". This lady did a great job! By Grandma Margie (Guest Post) RE: Painting Countertops 10/29/2005 I recently painted mine. I cleaned the counters thoroughly, applied one coat of latex KILZ, then used craft paints to create a marblelized look with various sizes of sponges. I used an acrylic satin finish (4 coats) afterwards in lieu of polyurethane which tends to yellow, sanding in between each coat........worked beautifully!

It looked great compared to the outdated color that was there, however, after a year or two standing water made it start to peal and it was very prone to scratching. We did use a special product made especially for painting over this type of material yet it didn't hold up in the long run like we had hoped. It is worth a try, be sure to not leave standing water on it if it is near a sink and you could always try to touch it up in the mean time until you are ready to replace it. Best Wishes!
