    Giani granite countertop paint. It's a kit and comes with everything you need. I did my kitchen at least 2-3 years ago, and it still looks nice, though it's starting to show wear. It is kind of delicate - don't cut on it, let water stand long periods, put hot pans on it. Still, for the price, can't be beat if you just want it to tide you over a few years. I still like mine. You can buy it on-line (at their site or Amazon) or find it in stores. They have great customer service too.

    I also used Giani- not hard to do but a bit time consuming. Totally worth the result. Comes out awesome!

    to answer your question .... you don't! you should never paint a kitchen counter top.

    My friend used a Rustoleum faux granite kit on her counter top and it looks great.
