    Hi Karen. If you mean that you want to give your counters a faux concrete treatment I think this fellow Hometalker's project will be helpful.

  • Hello Karen! I can tell you how to paint faux concrete with Dixie Belle Chalk Mineral Paint! :)



    It is super easy to paint your counter tops with Dixie Belle.



    Step one: Clean with White Lightning


    Step two (optional): If your surface is very slick, apply two coats of Slick Stick


    Step three: Paint one to two coats of Manatee Gray and Hurricane Gray Chalk Mineral Paint, then sponge on Gravel Road. Dab on Silver Metallic Top Coat.


    Step four: Use Gator Hide for a water resistant finish



    Here is a YouTube tutorial all about creating a faux concrete finish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOIRtWFurWo&t=850s
