The countertop is from Lowes, it is a fake black granite look in matte finish. I want to add sheen to it so it looks more realistic.
I've seen several you tube videos to do this. I think there is a kit you can get at the home improvement stores (Lowes, Home Depot, Menards - look on-line). I'm thinking of doing this, too. Would love to see what you do and how difficult & expensive it is. Good luck.
There is a lot of prep - just depending on the current surface that you will be applying the faux marble over. But once you are ready to get started - this is the best glaze to use: https://shop.artisticpaintingstudio.com/search?type=product&q=sheer+glaze and this is the best marbliest in the industry: http://pierrefinkelstein.com/tag/faux-marble/
If you will share what your sub-straight currently is, I can help with prep.
