Can you spray paint marble countertops.

These kits are easy to use and efficient with one kit covering a 35 square foot area according to house beautiful. If you are going to paint your counters to look like marble i recommend you purchase a marble tile with veining at the home improvement store. Actually i think you could paint over any unattractive countertops and make them fit your taste. To paint cultured marble to look like granite you ll need a lot of materials and tools.

Love this idea wondering if you think it would work on a marble vanity top. Wear eye protection and a particle mask when using the spray paint. Cultured marble countertops do contain marble dust but they re not natural stone. Thoroughly wash the countertop with hot water and soap.

Ready for a makeover. A paint kit such as the giani countertop paint kit has all you need in one box with instructions to create the marble mottled and veined look. Rinse and allow to dry. To make the paint look like real marble you want the surface as smooth as possible.

Unfortunately short of buffing and reapplying a gel coat to get it back to its former glory there really isn t much you can do yourself to give a cultured marble countertop a new look. The challenge is getting paint to stick to the slick surface and stay there through future use. It took me 4 coats to completely cover the preexisting marble. Want to see how i painted floor tile.

Recently i painted our bathroom cabinets a bright white which made the cream laminate countertops look really sad. While you need to let each coat dry for about an hour before applying the next if you wait too long i think over 2 3 hours instructions will specify you will have to wait until it has completely cured about 4 days to apply another coat. So don t skimp on the prep work. It held up to constant wiping down water plates kids making toast etc so yes you can paint over granite countertops and make them a thing of beauty.

You can use it as a guide to see what veins look like since when you are painting them you can create the most realistic look. They re actually closer to fiberglass or resin which means that if the surface is discolored scratched or you re just sick of it you can paint over it in good conscience. They cost about 5 00 a piece.
