I would redo it using featherlite concrete mix. 2-3 very thin layers looks amazing and will adhere to marble very well. You can see many countertops and sinks done with this application on Pinterest. Have fun, love this stuff!! You could also spray paint your vanity with ;gunmetal gray and the faucets can be painted with it as well, saw this on Pinterest and it looks expensive and very high end when it finished. Have fun.

What if you stained it? You would have the marble and a different color.

Hey Thalia - not the marble but I used Daich stone coating http://www.daichcoatings.com/spreadstone_countertop_kit.html on my laminate counter tops in my kitchen and I love it! Relatively easy and so far very very durable. I'm attaching a small pic but you can get a good idea of what it looks like now. Good luck!

Bonnie · Answer

Marble can't be painted, it won't stick. But you could try rubbing stain into it if you're wanting a different color.

Julie · Answer

if your vanity includes a sink bowl that will be painted also - I have yet to find a product that doesn't begin to peel because of the exposure to water. Even the Rustoleum products. There comes a time in remodeling when it literally pays to replace instead of re-do. Vanity tops are on sale all the time and closeouts and discontinued items are a real bargain. Just a suggestion and something to think about. Good luck!
