Louise on Nov 07, 2014A few yrs ago I painted my bathroom vanity top. I'd seen this done on a site about doing things on the cheap. After I finished, I decided I wanted something else, so gave this one away and bought a granite top. I sanded the vanity top, primed it, then got creative trying to create something resembling granite. Topped it with a couple of coats of poly. I think I used oil-based poly but it's been a while so don't remember. One reason I decided I didn't want it anymore was that the poly yellowed the color a bit.Helpful Reply

Devon Cretella on Nov 07, 2014Based on personal experience, I would stay away from the Rustoleum kit. We did it in our kitchen about 2 years ago. it was nice at first but is chipping like crazy now. Fortunately a new kitchen is in next year's budget!Helpful Reply

Monica on Nov 07, 2014I painted my powder room vanity white (it was oak) and also the countertop laminate to look like carrara marble. It was very dark browns and black and grays. Dismal. Now I love the fresh clean look. It's holding up beautifully.Helpful Reply

Lori on Nov 08, 2014I did it once, it was easy and lasted really well. Any good paint store will tell you what to use and usually a sea sponge is what's used to make it look like good.Helpful Reply
