Luckily I used appliance paint first, after watching a video from another podcaster. I put 3 coats on, not much prep but light sand, fans going in between and very dry time of year is imp! It has lasted 3 years so far!!! I ended up doing my bathroom tile that was yellow and even a guest bath that had yellow tile. It is great and lasts!!! Don’t wash it with anything abrasive and max dry time before putting anything heavy on it.the humidity level needs to be vey dry! ! Saved me a fortune!!!!!!

I finally have the confidence to paint my countertops. Thank you!

I inherited an old white metal table that was my grandmother’s. It was probably from at least the 40s if not older. My dad had used it in the garage to mount a saw on. I bondo’d the holes and painted it with the appliance paint. It came out great. It’s been three years and it’s holding up awesomely, though it’s not subject to as much wear and tear as a countertop , but no sign of peeling or anything. Since it came out so great I used it on a couple of other things, including an old dingy mailbox. I used black and it’s been three years and it’s exposed t the elements, including the hot desert sun and it looks as good as new. It was only supposed to be temporary while I looked for something else, but I probably won’t bother now.

Good job! Thank you for all the info you're give us.

Thank you so much for your honest review. I'm still debating whether to replace my counters or paint them.

The new pour on epoxy countertops, that you can do yourself, is absolutely amazing! You can make them look like chiseled rock, granite, marble with any color combination you can conceive of! Gorgeous!

I love you so much for putting this information out, really put my mind at ease

I used the appliance paint on my bathtubs and it worked great. That was 3 years ago. Only issue I had, was my husband would always leave a bar of soap on the same spot in the tub and it actually took the paint off one day when I was cleaning the tub. And if you buy their small touch up paint it was not the same color of white. The paint irself though looka great and I plan on doing another tub.

Thanks so much for your honest assessment of these different paints!

I used topside on an old table and it came out awesome. Also looks like a new top. Drys like a rock. Been two years and have not had any peeling at all. I painted kitchen cabinets also and came out very smooth. Talked to a rep first and asked if it was ok to use on wood. He said it also it resistant to cracking. I’ll def be trying the appliance paint in the future.

TY for this very helpful info! I'll be using the appliance paint on my countertops after watching this.

Great application and review! Perfect timing for me as I want to paint vanity top in bathroom.

Thank you for your honest review. We just bought an older RV and want to renovate it. Sounds like appliance paint for the win!

Wow! Great video thank you so much what I was looking for very informative. Looks great!

Thanks for sharing your experience with us! 😃

Very helpful. Thank you. I was just getting ready to do my countertops.

Great Job with showing each of the different applications then confirming that the Appliance Epoxy was best in everyday use. Rust-oleum should send a commission of thanks for great reporting of results that stand the test. Wonderful, and thank you. :)

Thank you for this 'synopsis' review! It's so helpful

Informative and entertaining video. Cheers from Toronto, Canada!

Awesome review -just what I needed to hear.

Thank you. We can learn from your experience.

I used appliance paint in my shower and love how it turned out. I plan to do the rest of the bathroom countertops in that as well. Biggest issue was how long it smelled, but so easy to apply. I wish they had more colors - not sure I want to do white in my kitchen.

Thank you for the information. Much appreciated!

Thank you for this video! It is so helpful!

This was very helpful. Thank you.

I used appliance paint on my countertops and I absolutely love them!! We get chips here and there but I just touch them up with left over paint and they're good as new I'm so glad I did it

Thanks for this video update. I am getting ready to paint my white kitchen counter tile and needed to know what would work best. Epoxy Appliance Paint it is!

Thanks for sharing! This is a big help.

My daughters 1st home was a fixer. She hated the pea green tile in 1 bath and a bright blue in another bath. The tile looked rather new and the house had many other issues that were more of a priority. I told her paint them white. Within a short time she used the spray appliance paint and is so happy that it looks clean. In fact 3 years later, the rest of the bathroom has been remodeled but not the tile around the tub area as there are still other areas of higher priority. I doubt they will get to the tile surround of the tub for many years.

Great. Thanks so much for sharing 😊

Thank you great review !!!

Thanks for this excellent video. I'll use the Rust-Oleum epoxy paint first then cover it with liquid epoxy on top. That's how convert cheap lanolium to a Granite or quarts looking countertop.

Your video is exactly what I needed! You saved me so much time and money. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Thank you, VERY helpful!

Thank you for this video this has helped me alot ..few years back i used the couter top paint and used epoxy over it and it sucked it still peeled and stated mold around sink so i strpped it all off OMG that was a 2 month job sttipping that paint off because i have so much counter top and and island ive been confused with what to you this helped so much as well as the comments of others trying this 😊

Very helpful! Thank you!!

Thank you so much for this information!!! I've been using floor paint for my kitchen counter and it keeps cracking or peeling off...

I did use that counter top paint and the same thing happened to me…chip and discoloration..need to re paint…thanks for the information will give it a try…

Calidad! Muy buena presentación!

I like a good diy. Thanks. (If you do this again, take a look at how you are rolling the paint on in short random directions and placing the can down on the surface. It all adds up to a less ideal finish.)

Awesome video. Thank you

This is the best video I have seen so far! I have been looking to paint our kitchen counters for ages now, you have given three examples to use, what you did to prep, how long to wait, and how it turned out! Now I feel better about my decision to paint our countertops. Thank you so much for the amazing advice and video! ❤

Thank you. My dad’s countertops are terrible. I’ll try the appliance paint

I was always told that you had to paint over the zinser shellac within a day because it cures hard and then there is poor adhesion to it as the primer would repel it

Thankyou for that info 😊

Wish I had seen this before I bought the topside paint for my tub.

People continue to insist in the comments that you need a primer. The only primer you need is a good sanding and go on with your appliance paint!! I have painted countertops too, that came with my house, it's an old 1960's oil based so I don't know what it is, but it's very heavy duty, and very 1960's yellow! Maybe someday I will fix it :)

Thanks for saving me from the wrong choice!!

Thank you, very informative. I too used the boat paint as advised by a friend on my camper and it too peeled off yet only on the top, sides are fine. I'm thinking the heat of the sun had something to do with it. Which is the next project this coming summer, repainting the top. I'll take your advice.

Amazing!

Very helpful, thank you

The orange countertop kitchen is absolutely unique vintage 1970 color i love it. I would not change it.

I'm sorry you went through all of that, but thank you for saving me money. I found your video because I am re-repainting my counter because I just don't like the color on mine. I thought I could go cheaper than the Giani paint. 3 years ago I bought the Giani Countertop paint bombay black and it worked super well, it has held up very nice and I scrub my counters. I just don't like the dark black in my kitchen and I guess I will have to spend the additional price to buy the Giani cause it works.

Thanks, it arrived on time, I was searching and deciding which paint, was a better thanks, I will try that one. Did you use any sealing oat or just that paint? Thanks

Rust-Oleum came out with a new countertop coating kit called Rustoleum HOME Countertop Coating kits. Try using that for the next countertop paint project! It's suppose to work a lot better!

I used the appliance epoxy and it turned out great, just had a high odor. Thank you

Great video...I wonder how the Rust-Oleum High Heat paint would hold up?

Thanks

Ty for sharing !

Hurray! I have 2 bathroom counters to go…. Thx

Interesting thanks! I have used Behr hi gloss enamel white and then put a couple coats of polycrylic for about 6 years ! I clean it with a bleach based counter spray and even cleanser for a tough stain! If it gets worn out due to the polycrylic I just Re paint and Re coat! I may try the appliance paint though !!! Cool.

Thank you!!!

Great video. I'm doing this.

thank you for this... i have purchased topside paint and wqs told by lowes no primer no sealant necessary but i was logically contemplating appliance paint.... i will now take and swap it out for the appliance paint for sure!! Really good to see long term results because so many videos are beautiful when done but you're kind of thinking "ill call you in 6 months!" and see how its holding up! 😂

Thanks for sharing your experience, it is very helpful. With the appliance paint, did you also use a top coat?

Have you considered doing some of the countertops with ceramic tile - that can be a charming relief from all painted. Thanks for this comparison!

Appliance paint all the way! I have to redo mine because I didn't do a great job about 4 years ago but it can withstand heat & water.

Very helpful

Thank you 😊

Wow… that orange 😳

The boat paint works great on old cast iron sinks. I have painted two cast iron sinks and haven't had issues. I can see why it wouldn't adhere to lamenent countertops.

topside boat paint works well for areas where it won't come in contact with heat. It was great it my bathtub until I filled it with scalding hot water.

BIN is a great product but not suitable for anywhere that might have water. Shellac does not like water. A bonding primer would be much more appropriate.

Very very helpful! How long did you use the appliance paint for though? Did you move out right away or were you able to see how long it lasted?

i am finally ready to paint my countertop tank you so much before see your video it is a night mare for me beacause to much stuff in home depot and somtime the staff know nothing on this stuff...tank again sorry for my english i am french 🙂

You should do stone coat epoxy, I did it in my kitchen and it been about a year and a half and still looks great. Also with the epoxy you can make it look like real stone.

I will definitely get appliance paint

Thank you for your honesty. I’ve painted plenty of floors and Zinsser Cover Stain has never failed me as a primer. It’s oil based and stinky, but sticks to anything! NO SaNding!!! 👏👏👏 I’ll try that and then the appliance paint on our guest vanity.

I used Rust-Oleum countertop paint almost 4 years ago and it still looks great. I did top with 3 coats of polyurethane to keep water and stains away. No regrets here for about $30.00 I gave my counters a new look.

I had great results with the rustoleum counter top paint

What about yellowung over time? Will I need a kind of coating to prevent this? Luv your outcome

Just curious why you didn't put a clear top coat over the appliance paint? Lowes has one that goes on thick and is for specific for bars and table tops etc? seems like it would keep it from chipping staining etc?. We will be painting our countertops with the appliance paint soon..Is it tintable?

Thank you for this video. I painted mine years ago and poured resin over them. I wonder if I can use this paint over resin???

Maybe try epoxy countertops by Stonecoat ❤

How about cooking stains? For example, any stains from yellow Turmeric? or red tomato splashes?

Rust oleum has always been the worst least durable water resistant paint for decades. They also bought some good companies and ruined their brand too. I recently discovered Behr Ultra scuff defense paint as an Oops paint. And it is astonishing, truly astonishing. It dried like a rock over my RV plastic counter top where lots of water drops and hangs. Absolutely no moisture penetration. I can’t scratch or harm it. However, my 150 German Shepard had a panic attack that I was gone and I can see he was able to scar it with the full force of his deadly claws waking at it. In a small spot. But still did not get through the paint entirely. I am sold, and changing the entire house now Alternately I painted my neighbors wind beaten door with Behr marquee interior eggshell enamel and it is so hard it feels like epoxy and not paint. Gonna try this on a counter or shelf. But the scuff defense is a scrub-uble surface, guaranteed in the can. And thank you for making this video.

I have used bin on wall and ceilings with great results. Do you think I should use the bin on my formica countertops before I apply the appliance paint?

I'm about to do a small 2x4 faux marble counter in my bathroom. After many peoples reviews of using the appliance epoxy I'm going with that. Wasn't aware there was going to be a smell. There is a vent but now window. Then marble effect and for a topcoat deciding between a two part epoxy or Minwax Polycrylic. Why have you never used a seal coat of any kind?

How long has the appliance paint lasted? Does it chip off? Will it work on ceramic tiles?

The appliance epoxy works great!!

I'm surprised you didn't add a coat of polyurethane on top of the paint to seal it. It adds a level of protection to your counter so that cleaning won't ruin your paint job.

Hey there, Did you have to prep the surface any or just applied two coats?

Thank you, helpful. Why not use epoxy for your next projects?

Rostelum have other colors or just white color??? Your counters look amazing and i want paint mine too they are very old Thanks

Of course, this is assuming you want to paint your countertop white. I am trying to paint my WHITE laminate a darker color, so I'm not sure how appliance paint would work for me.

Does the appliance paint come in other colors that aren't spray paint? Thank you

I love it

Stonecoat with epoxy? Was that a consideration in this scenario?

I’m currently researching my options here and appliance paint is an interesting choice. I’ll be considering that for sure. Did you apply a clear top coat in any of these? That might address the issues you had around the sink and such. Other videos I’m seeing suggest the following: repair defects, clean, sand, mineral spirits, two coats primer, dry six hours, two coats paint, dry four hours, two coats clear topcoat, cure 24 hours, light use for two weeks before complete cure.

Paint peels so easily or gets damaged by using a knife by mistake or some hard object that falls gently. how will this paint countertop last? is it really a decent idea ?
