I painted my kitchen counters to look like granite. Sand enough to roughen up a bit, then a few coats of Zinsser Bulls Eye 123 water based primer. I used a sea sponge to pounce on the paint (I used acrylic craft paint) to get desired loaok. Let dry and use water based polyacrylic to seal it. I used 4 coats of poly. These are pics of b-4 during and after. They have held up beautifully for over 2 years. Make sure not to put hot pots directly on and always use a cutting board.
