What's are easy ways to paint a 25 year old top on my bath vanity?
Doing Reno on small master bath. I have a 18 and 1/2 inch wide vanity, which is 3 and 1/2 inches narrower than standard top, of 22 inches. Looking for help with ideas on how to repaint present top, to be more up to date(a stone/ quartz look). Nothing dark or busy. Perhaps, a light-medium gray with white/shiny speckles in it. This bath is in a week to week rental, for 10 consecutive wks. near the beach. Looking for an attractive, yet serviceable redo.Biggest expense will be, to rip out of tub area and replace it with an up to date shower, new toilet, lights, mirrors, faucets, etc.Please forward ideas, dos and don’ts, step to step directions or websites to assist me. Pictures are great to help me visualize it.I am new at do it yourself projects. Thank you very much for your helpful ideas.😁

If it's a rental, you should replace instead of painting. All paints will peel once scratched, have to be very gental with painted tops, esp ones with sinks, which renters are not. If you decide to paint must use the epoxy kits sold at Home Depot. Step by step instructions are in the kit. Prep is very important.
Epoxy is great for this! You can make it look like stone. :) My favorite epoxy to use over bathroom vanities is stonecoat countertops.

If it is a rental unit, spend the money to replace it. Short term renters are hard on things. Any "paint" treatment will peel in the short term and look tacky.
