My Kitchen Makeover in the Works

My old plywood cabinets -- yuck
Here's the demolition, piece by piece.
After tearing out everything, I scored these upgraded cabinets from another job tear-out I was doing. So, after layout and planning they all fit satisfactorily into my small kitchen.
I installed mdf countertops, but still had to work on the backsplash. The tile for it is in the garage.
I put down a Black base coat of epoxy for an end result, but I still had no idea where I was going yet
Still just winging it, I started blending my color combos. The colors I used were a black base coat, metallic black, metallic purple, white, glow in the dark green, glow in the dark yellow
Here's another view, after the clear coat. 100% custom.
Day and night images of the finished countertops. Still need to put edging on as well as the backsplash.
After replacing the upper cabinets, this is what my kitchen looked like.
Night or day, I'm very pleased with the random result of my kitchen. Hope you all enjoyed.

    How well does the epoxy hold up to heat, scratches, dings etc?

    How big of an area does the quart size or gallon size cover? I looked up the product but it doesn't say. I would like to know how much I would have to buy.
