    At first I was cringing over painting that granite and your kitchen cabinets were beautiful as they were I thought. But after the transformation I was thrilled with your end result. What cabinet paint color did you end up using

    Hello- Thank you for this video! We have very similar granite as your original in our kitchen, and love the look of your "new" granite. A year later, are you happy with the outcome of this project? Ie, do the countertops still look good?

    Does the new countertops still have the same texture as the original granite? Thinking about doing this but skeptical of how it will feel. Thanks!

    This seems like the simplest epoxy product I’ve watched. I want plain white countertops so I’ll skip the marbling. Is there no colored paint layer after the 2 base layers? Also has this product become yellow? Many reviews on other products state white epoxy becomes yellow

    • @laurennicolejones
      @laurennicolejones  Год назад

      Ours is still whiter than white. The clear caulk we used turned a bit yellow though- that’s about it. Counters definitely not yellow. No colored paint layers at all. all white

    How is it holding up? Also do you have to be careful with certain kinds of cleaning products? I am thinking of doing this in my kitchen…

    Does the paint kit have strong fumes? If so, how long did it take for any odor to fully disappear? You did a great job. Your kitchen looks beautiful.

    Hi there! I tried the Gianni kit on my counter but the epoxy cured yellow. The company got back to me on email saying I needed to use lacquer thinner and rubbing alcohol during the prepping process but didn’t see you mention this step. Did you happen to use that during your prep?

    • @laurennicolejones
      @laurennicolejones  8 месяцев назад

      Hi! I did not use lacquer or rubbing alcohol- the video shows every detail we used. I hope that you can get it right- that’s frustrating?!
