Tristan WatsonTristan Watson: This stuff is brilliant. I’m letting out a house for my employer and the worktops in kitchen had faded to a nasty yellow. I found this stuff and thought I’d try it out before replacing the lot. So pleased with the results. It’s given the kitchen another good couple of years hopefully!

sharronsharron: For a few years I’ve need a new work top and my husband said we couldn’t afford one. I tried this product behind his back and he was amazed with the result, it’s totally transformed our kitchen, WE LOVE IT!
Quality is fantastic and it’s saved us so much money.
It’s really easy to use, I didn’t use the white marble effect as I wanted a bronze look, any knife marks or chips I filled in with wood filler first.

CharlotteACharlotteA: The media could not be loaded.  After scorching our tatty laminate countertops one time too many (see before photo), I decided to do a makeover until we can afford to get the kitchen properly redone. Not sure how durable this will be or whether it's really a long-term solution, but for the price, I don't think there's anything better out there. Tips: (1) Do the prep really well. Even though it doesn't say you need to sand the countertops, if you have any damaged areas, it's worth sanding right back and using a good two-part filler, then sanding again with very fine sandpaper. Any imperfections really show up due to the glossy finish, so it's worth getting this part right. (2) Don't feel you have to apply the mineral paints in the order recommended for a slate look, as suggestions in the instructions and video. After watching the video for the Bombay Black kit, I decided to apply the white colour first using a scrunched up plastic bag, followed by the charcoal, with the gold added very subtly as an accent colour. This gave a darker, more granite-like look that I'm really pleased with. (3) As other reviewers have suggested, get some black paper and practice lots before you go...

Amazon Customer: I was selling my home and COVID made it hard to get materials and professionals in to replace my bathroom countertop. I looked up DIY solutions and found this. I was nervous because I don't have much of an artist's eye. I wondered if I could really do this. Well... I did it! And the results are surprisingly good. It took some time. I did a laminate counter about 6 feet long with two oval sinks in it. I would say to watch all the videos you can in advance of starting so you don't have to stop very much in the middle of any step (to ensure the paint doesn't dry). But at the same time, I would also say there is more room for error than you think with this. If you're not happy with the sponging, you can go back over it with touch ups. If you only blend the colours a little... or if you blend them a lot... the final product is still going to work out okay. I couldn't do the long single strokes for the top coat as seen in the videos because I was working with a backsplash edge and two oval sinks... but it still looks great! I have now had several real estate agents through the home and no one has even noticed the counter is "painted." It just looks like a shiny new piece of laminate. I...

Paula BradingPaula Brading: After doing loads of research, reading tons of reviews and watching other people's experiences on YouTube, I decided to give this a go. Even though it had lots of rave reviews and had seemingly worked well for other people, I was still very skeptical about how it would turn out for me, as I am useless at anything remotely creative. However, I hated my work tops so much that I figured I couldn't hate them any more, even if I totally messed them up so, last weekend I took the plunge, and oh my goodness, I am so glad that I did! The results were way beyond my expectations and my husband couldn't believe how great the worktops looked once I'd finished them (and he used to run a kitchen business).

If you decide to give it a go, some tips from my experience are:
- Follow the instructions to the letter, and watch the Giani tutorial videos on YouTube before you start. The videos give additional really useful information and application tips which aren't on the written instructions.
- You don't necessarily need to use Frog brand masking tape but do use a really good quality precision masking tape.
- I didn't do any sanding between top coats because I couldn't get any fine...

Matt: Wow. After spending about 3 years reading about these countertop granite paint products such as this one from Giani and the Rustoleum products and trying to scare up the guts to take on the task myself, I finally took the plunge. To give you some backround, I have two bathrooms with dated formica vanity tops. One is a small 36 inch top in my downstairs half bath. The other is a 72 inch vanity top in one of my upstairs bathrooms.

I am no Bob Villa so when these projects come up I usually take a good while to get up the courage to try and do the job myself. I was going to just replace the vanities alltogether but to do both would have been upwards of $1000. I was willing to pay the money but the Giani paint stuck in my mind based on great reviews and a million youtube videos showing what appeared to be a pretty basic process. I finally figured I would try it on the small 36 inch top since if I didn't like the results I could easily just rip out the top and replace it with a brand new one.

I chose Giani over the Rustoleum counter restoration product because I thought the end results looked more appealing. The Rustoleum uses flakes on top of a base coat, covered by a...

Shippy: It will be a while before I could remodel my whole entire kitchen so I wanted to make it feel like home. The counter tops were sand color with the flecks in it, nothing eye sore about it, just blah. I like doing projects around the house and we've been in our house well over 3 1/2 years and with only updating with paint on the walls.

I researched the Rustoleum product for the counter tops and I was planning on going with that until I heard that it left a horrible after smell because that's how the product worked. Not what I was wanting with 3 kids in the house. Then I came across the Giani products and researched it online before purchasing. It seemed like a good candidate and so I purchased it.

I got this shipment pretty quickly and in great condition. I watched the dvd at least 3 times to ensure I was going to do it right. And sometimes found myself referring back to it when I got to each phase I was at.

It does only take a whole weekends worth of time (most of it for drying time) but it is well worth the effort. I painted my primer on the night before since that takes at least 4 hours to dry but I figured, I'd give it a little extra over night. It couldn't...
