Absolutely enjoyed your video great instructions on the do's and don'ts, your kitchen is beautiful!! One of the things to me in making a good video to the public is y'all's attitude smiling working together having fun and being serious all flowed very well, couldn't ask for anything more you guys nailed it seriously thx again best to you and yours.
I loved your video! It’s by far my favourite one, and your instructions and tips regarding the foam rollers were such a help. It would be a nightmare to go through all that work, and have “ fuzzies “ left on it from the roller. I’m surprised that the manufacturer hasn’t caught on to this yet! Keep up the great work, and I would love a video on repainting chipped bathroom sinks. 👍🏻🙏🏻
Looks great! I also painted my countertops using beyond paint white and montana marble spray paint in silver. It looks so much better than the old worn out laminate I used to have. Way cheaper than new counters!
Great tutorial, excellent teaching. Thank you for stopping the music, which was pleasant, when you gave instructions. May attempt this at our camp house in the country. I trust Rest oleum products.
Came out Beautiful guys! 💞 I'm definitely going this route when the time comes for my kitchen. Right now I'm building a pantry in a closet under my stairs. I have no clue what I'm doing, so I hope it comes out alright lol. Thanks for sharing this video, your kitchen is really beautiful 💞
This looks great! I'm renovating my whole house currently bit by bit, and I've been on and off the fence for what to do about the countertops. $300 and a bit of hard work for a refresh while i save money for what I really want sounds OK to me!
@@MichaelBlack-t3l I didnt get a kit I just bought Kilz put on a coat of that waited overnight to dry then took my acrylic paint I painted mine black with some white veining in it. Waited for that to dry and then rolled on evenly polyurethane. I let it dry overnight. My counters still look good
This is a great tutorial, very helpful, and also maybe an example of a reason not to go with solid black. The scratches show up to much. I'm definitely going to be looking for a more mottled color to hide imperfections I think.
@@LindiandRuss I'm a new fan of that genre of videos but DAMN do I love it!!!! I'd love to see that from you guys!! The soothing, meditative effect of DIY
I love this! I've seen other videos, but this is the only one that I like lol. Will it work if I want to go lighter on my countertop? Black speckled to white?
@@LindiandRuss We're thinking of upgrading our daughters kitchen. She's only going to be staying for a few more years, so spending lots of money seems senseless because more than likely a new owner would put their own stamp on the house. This is a perfect solution to make it look really nice and spend under $500.
Hello! Would you mind clarifying the name of the sealant you used? I have the paint but not with the kit and I haven’t found the final step materials you showed. Thank you
Hello Linda and Russ, we're about to embark on our countertop resurfacing. Not meaning to nit pick believe the term for addressing that debonded spot was "feathering out". I/we are going a slightly different procedure. We found a Rustoleum Clear Coat kit at Home Depot. So we're going do the usual prep-sanding, applying primer, but we've chosen a top paint of a colour of our choice. After which, we'll apply the clear coat....
@LindiandRuss Well, we tried our best to follow [all] of the suggested preparations. Pre-sanding, all of the surfaces,, at each application, primer, and two coats of base color (blue/Grey), As well as prior to the clear top coat.coatsrecommendations, but.... We're really disappointed with the outcome. There's little dimples scattered over pretty much the entire countertop, despite me using a hair dryer to remove the bubbles. My wife is definitely in no mood for me to try to fix this, and honestly, I'm spent. I was really concerned with the dust and vapors, so I'd set up an enclosure,, to isolate the kitchen, with a fan drawing the air out, and all windows were open! Irregardless, the house reakes!
I think you mentioned in the initial comment you used a different kit/procedure? We just follow the manufactures directions and a complete kit with the exception of the supplied roller (we used a foam roller) and had great results. We have used the kit multiple times and had no issues. If you used a fan you need to make sure there is no dust in the area as that can contaminate the final surface. The fans can quick up sitting dust that can get into your final coating. The smell is very strong. We applied the coating and left the house for a bit to let the smell wear off. It goes away quickly though (at least it did for us) for the product we used. Sorry to hear it didn't work out. Good luck on your reno!
Hello, the countertops look great. Y'all did a fantastic job. So I searched the links for the products you two used & the epoxy link was not functioning correctly. What epoxy do you recommend for the repairs for this kit?
looks like they changed the product since we did our counter tops. I added their new tintable counter top coating at the top of the product list int he description :) I haven't used but would assume is similar?
Getting ready to move into a new house that is woefully stuck in the 90’s. I’ve painted the counters in our last house and it was a huge upgrade from our gross mustard colored 80’s laminate. I’m going to be painting our new counters (charcoal ‘granite’ instead of white this time) and I think this time I’m going to do a clear epoxy pour over the paint
Could you please send me the link to the kit for the black counters? The one in your description is for a white marbleing kit. I love how yours turned out and want to make sure I get the same black ones. Thank you!
I used this same kit on my kitchen countertops 2 years ago. The results were beautiful. However…after a year, I couldn’t handle the minor scuffs and scratches. We replaced with laminate countertops due to budget constraints, but we’re happy.
That’s fair! When ours started showing scratches at the 3 year-ish mark it didn’t take long for me to want them replaced! Laminate can be beautiful too!
Considering, the painted countertops held up well. If I had old lament counter tops and couldn't afford new, I would do the same thing. If you can remove the sink and stovetop even better. Very Nice. I hear black is coming back vs the white on white.
Its a great solution to change the look of counter tops on a budget. But it will start to show its age of time. I agree, the first time we did it we removed the sink and stove top to get the coatings on the entire surface.
@@LindiandRuss I had granite countertops (grey, black, peach) installed back in 2005? and I still love them . Of course now I hear -- quartz is better and to change it. "NO". We can't let society dictate how our homes should look like. We are all on some kind of budget. Work with what you have, love your hard work, then sit back enjoy it. BTW, I love those white cabinets too.
I did that to my countertops and if I could take a picture of it and show it to you I hate it it was sticky and it looks awful I’m going to try to use appliance epoxy paint to paint over them
I would check the manufactures specs/label to confirm but if I recall the paint/coating had a similar heat resistance as the existing laminate counter top. I wouldn't recommend placing a hot pot/cooking sheet directly on top of the counter top without heat trivet on the counter first. Again I would look at the product's label to confirm its actual heat resistance :)
Looks beautiful, I’m looking to do the white. I wonder if microfiber roller will make it smoother. Suggestion. A beautiful piece of butcher block on the island may help with some of the countertop traffic. 😂 plus it will warm up your kitchen. But nevertheless it it wonderful.
if you get the countertop on sale, you'd probably spend around 4k-5k for a new black granite or quarts countertop... not 10k at least here in south Wisconsin
What a fantastic upgrade! You guys and Rustolium are a winning team. I hope they sponsored this transformation
Haha they didn’t! But maybe one day they will work with us! 🤞

I used the spray and all the fumes in my house. I think we will start over and do it the way you did it
This system still has fumes/smell. You def want to do it when you can open up windows and make sure you wear the proper PPE! Thanks for watching 🙂
Looks good, not sure I can get the same products in the UK but will try to find similar and have ago 💖🤞
Fingers crossed!
I love it! I saved this for when i get my first home incase I need to redo counters. Good job yall
Honestly we’ve been impressed with it. For the cost, I think it’s a great update!
Looks great!
Thanks!
Looks great…thanks for the inspiration!!!
You are so welcome!
I am about to tackle my counter tops but BEFOREI put the top coat on, I was thinking about placing a few decorative decals.
That sounds fun! I would love to see how they turn out.
Amazing and I’m want that floor too!!
So beautiful. I'm jealous.
Thank you!
I love this! I've seen other videos, but this is the only one that I like lol. Will it work if I want to go lighter on my countertop? Black speckled to white?
Probably sand and use a counter top primer first
Yep it’ll work! They have a lot exactly like ours, but in white that would cover nicely
@@britegrl03 thank you!
@@LindiandRuss Awesome, thank you!!
Looks great. Bet a matte epoxy would look good too

Thank you, Linda, for taking the time to reply, we're going to have to accept it, as is......
I honestly wouldn't do a remodel in the kitchen because the counters and cabinets look great!
Fair enough!
Loved it it looked like an onix counter top
This is great. I just bought a condo with a small kitchen and 1 1/2 baths. One kit should be more than enough.
Love the video, thanks!

Good luck! Ours worked really well! Just follow all of the directions, mix well, and leave it alone after it's applied - don't try to do touch ups!
Did y’all used a top coat or did the paint have a gloss to it? It’s beautiful
The paint kit has a top coat with a gloss already 🖤
Do you have to remove the sink? Thanks!!
you don't have to remove the sink, you can paint up to it, i would just mask the edges/cover sink to prevent any spills/paint marks
Do you have to sand vinyl countertops too?
Yes, I think you want it to adhere well so you need to sand first to create a profile for it to adhere to.

Are there different colors that you can choose from?
Yep they have a couple different colours to choose from (at least they did when we did it) 😃
Can this be used on white porcelain countertop tiles in a bathroom?
Yep, just have to do the proper prep work!
How did you do the plastic that went over cabinets?
Beautiful work! Now, y’all come and paint my countertops please?! 😂
Thanks, your should try thought, its really not that hard! Thanks for watching
What type of counter did you start with
a laminate top, thanks for watching 😁
A tip to keep your rollers from leaving debris is to roll on the sticky side of some masking tape and that will take any loose hairs off.
Thats smart - will definitely have to try that next time! Thanks for watching :)

I’m not sure what you mean by “the full look”? 🤔
You two are adorable.
Aww Thanks! 🥰
I did that to my countertops and if I could take a picture of it and show it to you I hate it it was sticky and it looks awful I’m going to try to use appliance epoxy paint to paint over them
If it was sticky and/or uneven, one of the instructions was not followed correctly, or the epoxy was not mixed thoroughly enough.
Are these heat resistant?
I would check the manufactures specs/label to confirm but if I recall the paint/coating had a similar heat resistance as the existing laminate counter top.

It was "Countertop Transformation Kit in Black Mica" and finish was "High-Gloss/Shimmer" - thanks for watching :)

Why did you use epoxy over polyurethane?
It looked before you put the epoxy, I would sand the epoxy to make it a matte finish.
yep, can modify for what finish you want
weldone guys
Thanks!
Great news
Agreed!
Yes great job out their
How would this stuff work in an RV?
It would work great! You can definitely use it in an RV! We’re re-doing our RV on the channel right now!
if you get the countertop on sale, you'd probably spend around 4k-5k for a new black granite or quarts countertop... not 10k at least here in south Wisconsin
In Canada, with exchange we would be closer to the $10k (in CND dollars) without finding a sale.
@LindiandRuss I don't blame you for painting your counter top if a new one costs that much. Wow
Have you ever thought about using Stone Coat countertops. It may last longer
May have to look into that in the future - always like to try new products!
@@LindiandRuss yes they a have beautiful work of ideas for countertops, showers and floors. I like coming on here to watch them.
