    What is the current material? if you have deep scratches, you can do some sanding - if the countertops are currently formica or similar, add a little filler to the scratches and sweep the sanded dust into it. Let it dry and sand smooth. We painted our formica countertops using the Gianni chocolate kit, but you can pretty much use whatever you want as long as you put a prep coat down first and then use a good sealant. I even added a few of my own craft paints to the mix. What look are you going for with the painted countertops?

    Great ideas with crack filling. They are Formica and white 😝. We are selling our house, priced knowing kitchen needs updating. It is fully functional, but want to make it look better without spending $$$

    That depends on what your countertops are made of. Could you specify?

    Rustoleum kits are great for countertop makeovers.
