My friend used rusteleum 5 years ago on her countertops. she said it held up great. It’s looks like granite. we re did our kitchen cabinets with Rust-Oleum. We were deciding for countertops Giani or Rust-Oleum. I read negative things of Giani that in a few years it chips We did the rustoleum. It looks great. We love it. It has a great texture like granite. It was easy too. i rather do this then spend the money for new countertops.
I did my cottage counter tops with Giani countertop paint kit in Sicilian sand 3 years ago and I do not yet have one scratch on it. I absolutely love it. It was fun to do, although it did take patience to draw on the veins of marbling, but it has withstood the usual wear and tear of a countertop. The epoxy coating is a must!!! I did another countertop with Retique it and it didn't make it through one weekend. I think if I had used an Epoxy coating (which they did not say was necessary) it might have lasted longer. Good luck with your project
Hi Cheryl hope this helps you decide.
