Under $350 Kitchen Makeover- Part One Painted Granite Countertops

Redo your aged countertops by painting them!
So what do you do when your counter tops aren't looking great (in this instance an aged off white)? You google can I paint my countertops? And the answer is yes! We found a couple kits but the company with the best ratings and youtube instruction videos was Giani Granite. We purchased it on Amazon for $68.00 (now 79.95 but still worth it!) They also have an easy one sheet of instructions.
How it works is you paint (roll on) a base color on your countertops in this case it was a black base. The instructions say to let the base dry for 8 hours, we left ours over night.


The kit comes with a natural looking sponge and you sponge paint on the faux granite look. It was so easy even if you don't have an artistic bone in your body you can do this!

    Michelle - Love your kitchen. Giani's website says "the cure time for GIANI is approximately two weeks to achieve its full hardness". Did you have to wait two weeks to use your counter-tops? Thanks
