If DIY Is Your Middle Name, Here Are 40 Helpful Tips For Upgrading Your Home On A Budget

Promising review (from 2018): “May 2020 Update: The countertop is just now starting to need (slight) touch-ups around the sink itself. We had to postpone the remodel until this summer, and this counter has held up like a champ. I couldn’t be happier with this product!

This paint can be a little tricky to work with until you get the hang of how it applies, my suggestion would be to test it out on a scrap or something prior to applying. Once I had it, this product was a breeze to work with.

We recently purchased a new home, and we’re not gutting our main bathroom until next summer, and I just couldn’t live with that 1980s green another day. So, after reading a lot of tutorials, I decided to go for it and paint the counter. I LOVE how it came out! Once it was dry for 24 hours, I applied several coats of poly and let it sit for 72 hours before I let the counter go back into normal use. It’s held up like a dream. I wouldn’t use any heavy chemicals on it (but I wouldn’t advise those period), but otherwise zero issues with it.

(I had done this previously with a different color by a different brand and the outcome was similar, it held up like brand new for several months of daily abuse before I decided to repaint because I didn’t really like the color).

I think this will easily hold up until we remodel, and it looks great too. DEFINITELY better than that ’80s green!

Side Note: I see a lot of negative reviews on this product because it doesn’t hold up for people outdoors. USE A SEALANT. Don’t blame a product if you don’t use it correctly. It’s not rocket science folks.” —Mistella
