Can you paint counter tops?

Question

I just bought a house and cant afford to replace the counter tops in my kitchen. Is there anyway to paint them so that the paint wont peel up?

Answer 1

Absolutely!  I did my kitchen counters and bathroom vanity counters at my last house.  I lived there for a couple of years and it had lasted quite well.  Like any counter top you will get the odd scratch - but it's a counter top and that does happen.  

Check out the attached site for instructions - follow them as they explain how to clean, prime, paint and seal.  

You can also find some great sites out there that explain how to create a marble/granite effect paint job...which is what I did and it looked great! Good luck!

Answer 2

of course!!!!!!!
