Update an oak kitchen. I don’t want to paint the cupboards. Would like new counters and backsplash.
Hi Mark, Rustoleum makes a countertop painting kit that can be found at most big hardware stores. Good luck!
Hi ! I did a lot of research before I painted my cabinets and countertops . I picked advance paint ( and primer ) by Benjamin Moore . This paint is a hybrid paint that washes off hands and brushes with soap and water , but dries hard like an enamel . I did this 3 years ago and it has held up GREAT !!! You can see my step by step process on my posted tutorial on this site called New kitchen on a budget . Good luck !!!!

Whichever coating system you use, take your time and clean them very well and repair any delamination or chips before cleaning.
Follow the directions to a T, as getting paint to stick on plastic in the high-wear kitchen arena, is worth taking your time.
Hello Mark,
Use ESP (Easy Surface Preparation) and then paint over them.
