Has anyone used the Stainless Steel paint spray for their DIY countertops, and if so, how easy was it to use and how well does it hold up? Thank you!

  • The paint your speaking about is not really metal, its a color. Painting any counter top is in my opinion a risky venture. The use of the counter will have a large impact on how well it holds up and how it ends up looking in the future. Risks with paint on a kitchen counter is many, the biggest is the ability to properly clean and sanitize the surface when spills occur. While there are counter paints available for just that use, I still have issues with the cleaning ability once the paint surface gets scratched. What exactly is the surface that your painting? Is it a current counter top, or something you just constructed and want to cover? Plywood or solid wood surface? Knowing that may help provide better answers from others who may have done this in the past.

      Most likely the reason for wanting to restore the existing countertop is that it has numerous scratches and/or stains. Painting is apparently the only solution to try to restore it. It might not hold up on the long run, however this is the only option available, especially if the existing countertop cannot be replaced as is the case in the vintage buildings.

    I agree with Woodbridge. More information about surface needed. My concern would be food safety. I would also roll on instead of spray producing more of an even coverage. Research paint brands. So many new products. Use one that specifically mentions safe to use on _. You'll need a finish protection. I know Rustoleum has counter top paint. I'm sure there are other brands also.

    I hear that roll on paint produces more texture, while spray on virtually none.
