If you want to create marble, use a feather and drag and twist across the surface. Add smaller veins coming off the the main one. Vary the pressure as you twist and drag. Always use a sea sponge. Twist and rotate and use all sides to avoid repetition. Layer colours dark to light. Seal with an eco self levelling resin when it’s dry otherwise it will wear off. 😊 YW

When you first started it, I wasn't so sure, but the END RESULT LOOKS QUITE NICE!!!!

Filling in + sanding flush dents/cracks turned out to make a huge difference (some use bondo, I prefer DryDex)._ _No top coat at all leaves worry of food safety.. It's 'protective enamel' but it's certainly not intended to be in touch w/food. (Rustoleum recently told an angry me, protective enamel sprays +liquids are near identical to the regular products!). Doubt any1 w/refinished counters preps food on bare counter.. But even casual contact for brief times can result in some leaching, which can be surprisingly dangerous._ _I frequently use products other than intended >> seal when necessary. Epoxy is inert plastic once cured, so I went that route to protect finish, food safety & prevent issues w/cleaners, tapes, etc. Clear flood coat is easy+pretty cheap. Polycrylic worked ok on a table, but didn't hold up super long. To seal w/polycrylic after the fact: clean well with degreaser/polycrylic can be painted or rolled on & cures quick!_

I really like it! It looks 100% better than the brown shade...I think it's very nice!✌️🙏

Congrats re the final product! You are surprisingly honest with us. With respect, you could also consider a large feather. Why? These help you do the lines in marble, if this is what y’re going for. Major hardware stores should have. Great experimenting. Good for you man. Your final product looks rather amazing. Congrats man🙂. Cheers.

We've thought of doing this to our 20 year old counter top. Awesome job my friend,awesome job.

I am looking at videos to prepare to do my countertops and this video was a great guide

You did a great job! It looks gorgeous!

You're supposed to put down watered white then dap in grey. Make sure your sponge is wet. They'll blend together better.

I used waddled up walmart plastic bags to dab on the different colors. It turned out great

Looks Great! I would pass on the yellow spots is all. Agree way better than them brown countertops 💪🏽

This is super helpful.. there was a few I was thinking about trying, but I think yours is the clearest and looks like I could possibly do this!.. I’m so nervous to mess up my countertops!

You forgot to mention topcoating the whole thing with a clearcoat

Awesome work Sir thank you for the video

No topcoat?? haha, just kidding. No idea why people have to repeat themselves in the comments but there's no way my countertops would come out this good if I tried this. You should be an artist!

Very nice! I’m about to start on my vinyl countertops

You did a good job on a low budget.

Looks amazing

Nice job!

I like it but did you have to put anything to seal it?

Beautiful job!😊

Looks nice and finish might good to be honest but if this guys are professionals in this kind of work they should use paint kettle(s) to pour the paint and clean the paint tin. That is unprofessional in the first place. In second the should protect the surrounding units like fridge and cooker etc, third the should protect the flood for any drips of paint that may occur and mostly because is enamel paint and forth in ridiculous pour the paint in the countertop and then use the brush and the roller to spread it. For that is tombs down for me regarding the paint procedure and protection. I am a Painter and Decorator in UK and is not a good example for colleges in our profession. This guys they should know that unless are Cowboys which doesn't look the case. Work they did is pretty cool is tombs up.

Turned out good. Would we put a clear coat on it!

Hey looks good , nice job 👍🏼 . How did you do your back splash ?

I have cheaper granite countertops. They were cut in two pieces to install. Now, a few years later and they are two different colors. Would this work on granite countertops

Very nice video. Looks great.

How do they hold up to warm plates, scratches etc. because paint usually doesn’t hold up well to those things.

Awesome job! What did you seal it with after using the Sponge

What is giving it that nice shiny look?

Looks great 👍🏻

Hello which method / way do you recommend best…. This method with the enamel paint or the other video you did with the rustoleum countertop paint? I will be sanding, priming and adding a top clear coat.

No top coat?

I love everything you do!☆☆☆☆☆

Hi I really want to do this.Did you use a clear epoxy at the end

Is the paint food gradeable

Not bad

Do you have to put a base coat on the counter top.

Need to splurge on some glue for the strip on cou ter edge and a drop cloth man !

Any idea how this holds up with placing warm things on the counter? I think you said you used it in other homes? What if something hot/warm is placed on the counter?

Dose that work on all countertops

nice job

Looks amazing!!

You didn’t have to put a clear coat to settle the paint

You need to prime first with Styx primer! That finish will fail.

Cant read the labels all backwards.

No epoxy?

How did it hold up so far?

No Topcoat?

This doesn’t look real plus it won’t last too long! This is from a professional artist with a degree who has done this kind of work before! But good try!
