If I had it to do over again, I would have ordered 1 full kit and 1 extra set of the epoxy topcoat (that can be ordered separately). We did have to use 1 set of the epoxy topcoat from a second kit. And we almost had enough of the epoxy topcoat with one kit. We have just under 100 square feet of countertop and had PLENTY of paint with a single kit.

Giani says that each kit covers 35 square feet of countertop.

This kit comes with EVERYTHING you need, including the brushes, rollers, plastic sheeting to protect your cabinets, etc.

But every single person I heard from that had used the Giani countertop kit loved their results and haven't had any issues. They wound up with peeling and chipping countertops. I learned 2 things… The people that used the Rustoleum Countertop Paint kit did NOT recommend it. I not only read reviews, but I also chatted with people who have actually painted their cabinets.

In this post I'm going to share exactly how to paint countertops using the same countertop paint kit that we used. So we did something about it! I encourage every single person out there to do what YOU love in your home, no matter what anyone says! We've done so much to transform our kitchen and the countertops were just bringing the whole space down. A small minority of people are OFFENDED that I painted over granite countertops.īut here's the thing y'all… We really disliked the color and pattern of our granite. I shared the step-by-step process in my IG stories and even shared a reel that went semi-viral (by my standards). If you follow me on Instagram then you already know that I painted my kitchen countertops to look like marble a few weeks ago.
