You know I just don't understand why people need to be so rude and obnoxious to someone they don't even know. I think all she wanted to let people know is how it's done, how easy it is, and what she used. Who cares if you don't like the color or you would have bought something else. Why does that matter to you???? All you need to do is move onto the next video or off KZbin. I think some people have way too much time on their hands. Thanks for showing me how you done yours.

I don’t agree with you. Well not with everything. Yes it’s not nice to be rude but when people say the way they did it, and what they do differently it helps others. Before I did my I read comments and I learned something new. Something I would do differently. But I agree she did good job. But I like negative comments too. You look at things differently and make your choice.

We all know this isn’t real granite. Many people cannot afford real granite. If you’ve got old laminate tops that could use a fresher look, I think this works fine. If I posted this and got some of the harsh comments, I would stress to you: 1. I don’t have the money for new tops, let alone granite. 2. I’m not entertaining the high society crowd, nor would I care about anyone else’s snotty opinion 3. I did this for me. If I want to share to anyone to help others in a similar situation, it doesn’t mean it’s your duty to demean the process and make someone feel less than. Not everything or anyone deserves your snide remarks. If it’s not for you, fine. Get your charge card or pile of cash and hire a professional or get the expensive countertop. You do you and extend the same courtesy to everyone else. 4. It makes you no better to spend more money. It just means you were willing to spend more because you can afford it or are willing to go into debt so you can have better.

Karen Miller Couldn’t agree more! I’d sooner plunk my cash into kids’ college fund, or a new car than a kitchen counter. It looks nicer than it did before, and if it doesn’t impress guests that’s just too bad. To be honest, natural granite is so porous you’d better seal it regularly or risk ruining it with stains from spills!

That angled seam in the corner just to the left of the sink really really stuck out badly after it was done, I would recommend that some wood filler be used to fill that in as much as possible and then to sand it smooth as can be before the primer is put on. in the end that seam will be virtually GONE!
@napamoonlight99974 жыл бұрын
-I've done this and I am here to say that it doesn't need to cost $80. I used a small can of black rustoleum for the base. After that I used those craft paints that come in the small plastic bottles (Folklore?). Some of the paint I already had from previous craft projects. I used different sized and textured sponges as well for a look that was more true of a natural stone product. What also helped was getting a sample of real stone from a flooring store, they used to give these away for free. My stone inspiration had veining as well. That was the kicker that really seemed to take my project from "try hard look" to "when did you get new countertops put in?". Go slow, The first color should be spaced a bit randomly, constantly turning the sponge and swapping out for different sizes and textures of sponges. Take a moment and assess. Reference your real stone sample piece and add more of the first color if you feel the need. My stone had, at the minimum, three different colors that gave it more depth and interest. One of the colors was a rich glazed copper color. A sparkly gold color was also visible. All in all I probably had about six colors I was working with. Some of the colors were used more sparingly than others, like in a real slab. Some natural stone counters have pocketed areas of color in fluid looking triangular or V shapes. Some have diagonal rivulets of concentrated colors. Mine had both. More fun for me! RAgain, start with a light hand, assess, then fill in where needed for a natural look. It may takes three or more colors in the pockets to create the depth of a natural stone look. If you take a diagonal or slanted approach to the rivulets of color try to maintain the same directional slant in the rest of the countertop so that it appears that the stone was "cut" from the same slab. But again, try to find a sample of real stone or some online photos or video of the real product that you are trying to mimick. Also, some colors I went over while still wet to get a blended, less harsh, look. Sometimes I would not clean the first color out of the sponge before I went in with a different color. That seemed to create the natural look I was going for. But be careful because things can get "muddied" quickly. Take it slow. It seemed to me that a light hand was key to the whole project. You can always go back to square one. But you can almost always avoid that with a methodical and assessing approach. I think that I used a food grade poly for the finish. I used three coats, and sanded each coat, when dry, with 150-200 grit paper (the black kind) then wiping with a damp cloth. After twelve years the faux finish is finally showing some wear. What will I do next? Hhmmmm. I know that I will try my damnedest to not spend $80 on it.

Tip don't use soft materials like wood filler or drywall mud to fill in chips or holes. Use Bondo it is harder and sticks to the surface as long as you clean and sanded it. It also works great at hiding the seams. Where there are seams ... sand them out and leave a bit of a valley and bondo and sand to make it nice and level.

The point of having the three sponge colors is so you can have varying shades showing through creating depth and interest. If you cover them completely, you will only get one color, the top color.

Why do you have to do 2 feet at a time? This makes absolutely no sense. It literally is the same exact thing. Even if they blend better when wet it will be dry by the time you get to the next square and then you will be putting on the bottom color onto the top color that way right? That makes absolutely no sense people. Just do the entire section at once one section at a time. Do the bottom color fast to where the first coat is still wet when you do the second and you will be better off. Don't need to section off a portion of the countertop. Do it in a section at a time. Like the entire section of countertop, not sectioning it off with tape like this. I think she got confused and thought the directions meant to tape off the countertop in sections and do it in sections as to put it on when wet so it blends nicely but what they meant I believe is that you do each section of countertop separately and at once. Not sectioning off the countertop like that. You are supposed to do right side of the sink all together and then when done do left side of the sink and finish that. And then do the last section of the countertop. Not like she said. Make the part where you start a new section, the "break", hidden by either doing each section all at once or possibly if you must put the break or seam or whatever at the backside of the sink so it blends nicely and is in the rear where there is the least amount of transition between the two patterns you make. Seems like the answer. Use common sense and you would be fine but honestly I think the stone coat epoxy is the way to go unless you are making a clubhouse for a kid or something because this is definitely the low end of the spectrum on diy countertops that use coating systems I think but for the price it is just great. I talk crap but it's better than the materials and systems we had 25 years ago when all we could do was paint a cheap wannabe acrylic coat of paint on a sanded countertop and even then it peeled and chipped in a few years if not less. The diy coating technology has come a long ways but it is best to do a stonecoat system if you can and make a form out of cardboard and painters tape to catch the drops from the epoxy. My money goes to the 150 dollar stone coat kit and it will last longer too.

Definitely doesn't look like granite to me but if she's happy with it then that's all that matters.

Great job and review!! I would say that the paint needs to be thin when sponging on so it keeps a low profile or else there would be more sanding needed.

Can I use woven rollers instead? Foam sometimes suck the moisture from the paint

I used this kit and I couldn’t be happier! Most people don’t realize that it’s old Formica painted

Make your own video! Didn't your parents ever teach you, "If you can't say anything nice, ...?" What do people like you think you're accomplishing by being insulting? Nobody really cares about your opinion, I can assure you!

I used clear epoxy resin to keep the longevity of our counter tops.

SouLottaFun// what kind of brand of epoxy resin did you use? I've heard some turn yellow.

After 3 months since you posted this reply, how does it look today? I'm selling my house, don't want to spend the money on new counter tops so I was thinking of doing something like this. What is your opinion on that? If you were looking to purchase a house, would it look like a cheesy attempt of the look? Would it be impressive? People are bringing up the upgrades needed on the house to make it something they wish to purchase. DO YOU THINK doing this would behoove me?

Watched several of these videos in youtube world, but yours is by far the best. Except; you nor the others mentioned the size of your counter tops, and how much material was left. Giani says it will cover (up to) 35 sq. ft. / 16 running feet of a standard counter width. No mention about the back splash added in, because a 16 ft by 4 or 5 inch back splash adds over 5 sq. ft. I am also asking you because you have the same type of counter tops, rounded fronts with attached back splash. I'm stuck and will have to buy two kits because I have a total of 52 sq. ft. of counter, (including the back splash). So I wanted to paint my dining table at the same time, and that will bring it up to the 70 sq. ft. I won't hold you to it, but do you think that the amount of counter sq. ft. you painted and the amount left is close to the advertised 35 sq. ft? If not, I'll build a couple faux headstones to decorate for Halloween instead. BTW, at the very end of your video, (optical illusion), your lower cabinets look gray, the exact color of mine. And if you do have any left over, grab some well sanded and primed wood and see if it works on wood. Thinking of painting some wood trim and make it look like granite for misc. projects.
