That is fantastic! Thank you for the thorough review if both product and process! ☺️
We need to do this on our orange bathroom counter from the 70s. I love it!
WOW you need your own television show. Great video!
Thanks for all the work with steps to accomplishing this diy.
You are so welcome!
Absolutely gorgeous!! Thanks for a clear and precise tutorial! I will definitely be saving this video for future reference. 😁😁👍👍
Oh amazing! I'm glad the video was helpful!
You give me hope for my kitchen. Thank you for the thoroughness of your tutorial. It was very helpful. 😊
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
I'm getting ready to do this and was so happy to find your video!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
I have been planning to do this. Excellent job and a money saver.
Its a great way to change the look on a budget!
It looks awesome. You save me a ton of money. I was thinking about replacing mine but now I think I’ll just paint them. Thank you.
Glad it helped!
Excellent explanation & video of each step. Looks fabulous! I'm hoping this is the way we'll go until we do our kitchen remodel. Thanks!
Honestly, I think it's a great solution while you're saving for a remodel! Ours has worked great!
I just saw this video. Great job guys, well explained. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. 👍😁
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful once again! I love your kitchen! Great video on the application too.
Thanks!
This was a great and informative video. I have been debating on this project for a while. Good job guys!
Glad it was helpful!
I so enjoyed watching you work together. ☺ You make a great team! The countertops look amazing.
Thanks so much! 😊
Thanks for this video I truly enjoyed watching your transformation!❤
Thank you so much!!
Very informative. this showcases the durability and longevity of the paint, proving it's a worthwhile investment for transforming countertops. The step-by-step guidance and long-term results make it a must-watch for DIY enthusiasts looking to refresh their kitchen space.
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching :)
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. 👍🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for watching - we have never done sinks, but maybe that is something we should try in the future!
Thank you i am about to start my kitcken. So your video has given me exactly the information that i needed to know. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh perfect! Good luck!
Amazing and I’m want that floor too!!
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 💞
Thanks! Glad the video helped. The counter top paint is a great affordable and quick way to transform your kitchen!
Oh my gosh! I'm an SLP too!!! Much love for your videos ❤❤❤
So cool!
What a difference! The shine just brought the surface back to life. I'm not sure I could attempt this but I'm inspired. Great job. It looks amazing 👏🏼
Thanks! It definitely made a huge difference brightening them up again!
@@LindiandRuss It's cheaper, it's skill-building and more eco friendly.
I painted our countertops about 4 yrs ago and they are still holding strong it is a great idea and your counters look great
Its a quick and affordable change :)
Thanks so much for sharing what the 4 yr old countertops looked like!
Of course! Glad it was helpful to see!
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! 🤞
Great job and Great teaching I learned alot.
Glad you enjoyed it!
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!
Agreed!
Wow! I love it!! Looks so beautiful!! Tfs 😀♥️
Thank you!! 🖤
My favorite new channel.
Thank you!! 🖤
Looks great…thanks for the inspiration!!!
You are so welcome!
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!
Its a great temporary and affordable fix!
Wow great new look!
Thanks!
That’s a cool dude,
Good job to both of you!
Thank you! We’ve been really impressed!
You both make it look so easy.i have to do my countertop
Its a great quick change.
Good job guys!!! I will be doing this❤
Awesome!
Looks great!!
Thanks!
Loved it it looked like an onix counter top
Looks great!
Thanks!
THANKS FOR DOING THIS VIDEO we can't afford a remodel this is awesome & ill be doing this for sure
thats great - its a great affordable option for a temporary counter top change :)
You have a beautiful kitchen!!!
Thank you! 😊
YOU TWO ARE SOOOOO CUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!!😍😍
Aww thanks!
Thank You, I’m learning to do my own countertops ❤ this helps a lot! Please do a rock fireplace.
You can do it! If all goes well we have a fireplace makeover coming in the future!
Job well done.
Thank you 😊
Omgoodness... You just saved me a ton of money.
Thats great to hear, thanks for watching!
And a ton of work ,🤔👍💪🙏✌️😺
FREAKING AMAZING ASMR audio!!! thank you for this awesome video, you guys are soo calm and helpful it makes me feel like I CAN DO ANYTHING.
I would love to do an entire ASMR video ones of these days! It’s so much more fun!
@@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
The black is beautiful
We were so happy with how it turned out!
Gee whiz , you have a nice kitchen, nice layout 😊, oh and good job on the counter tops 😀
Thanks so much! 😊
Excellent!
Thank you! Cheers!
So beautiful. I'm jealous.
Thank you!
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!
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.
Yes! The black definitely shows more imperfections! Glad you found it helpful :)
We did this but put a layer of poly on top and it protected it so well
Oh smart idea! How is it standing up over time?
Very good tutorial.
Thank you!! I’m hoping anyone who would want to do this could watch the video and know exactly what to do!
@@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.
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
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!
Glad it was helpful!
beautiful
Thank you! 😊
Hi, I like the color you have chosen, which one it is?
How did you do the plastic that went over cabinets?
Wow!
Thanks!
Looks great. Bet a matte epoxy would look good too
Agreed! 😊
We're doing the onyx color one. I'm excited to see how it holds.
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!
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!!
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?
Love it i
Thanks 😊
I honestly wouldn't do a remodel in the kitchen because the counters and cabinets look great!
Fair enough!
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.
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
All the paint/epoxy/sealant came in the kit we bought.
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!
@@LindiandRuss.
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 :)
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 🖤
Beautiful work! Now, y’all come and paint my countertops please?! 😂
Thanks, your should try thought, its really not that hard! Thanks for watching
Wow
Thanks!
As an electrician some of those screws on cover plates gave me goosebumps 😨
Can this be used on white porcelain countertop tiles in a bathroom?
Yep, just have to do the proper prep work!
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 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) 😃
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
weldone guys
Thanks!
Why did you use epoxy over polyurethane?
#1000 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks!
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.
Yes, I think you want it to adhere well so you need to sand first to create a profile for it to adhere to.
I liked the full look better. Is it ok to do that ??
I’m not sure what you mean by “the full look”? 🤔
How do I buy just the sealer? What is the name on the can ?
Not sure, no longer have can and just bought it as a kit.
Do you think I should tackle this with textured laminate kitchen counters??
Textured surfaces might be hard to get it evened out and have uniform thickness of epoxy. Depends on how high the textured parts stick up?
Great news
Agreed!
Yes great job out their
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
You two are adorable.
Aww Thanks! 🥰
I'm here looking for kitchen work top makeovers. I bought hamerite rust to metal paint by accident. Does anyone know if that would work too? Has anyone else used it? Thank you. Waiting for work to finish to watch the whole video.
You should check what surfaces it bonds to - if its a rust paint is it intended for metal? Ultimately you want to follow the instruction and what application it is good for, as how it bonds to the surface will decide how it performs.
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. 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 :)
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!
Heads up. Black counter tops ALWAYS look filthy.
We were really happy with them 😀
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.
Are you able to use bleach on the countertops after using this product?
We used used cleaners with bleach - not sure that we tried straight bleach though.
When you consider the time to do this it's cheaper to go to a counter top store and custom order to fit then install yourself.
That is absolutely not true 😂😂 I can only assume you’ve never paid for or quoted countertops if you believe that 🤣
Wait? Did you just go from black to black? 🤔
If you watch the whole video, you’ll see what we started with and why we changed it.
I’m quite certain I wouldn’t want to do this process every few years due to scratches.
I totally agree. I’m my mind it’s a temporary solution. Do it once, live with it for 4 years while you save for nicer countertops - we definitely couldn’t afford them when we first painted. Although if you did it in a less used space, it will likely last much longer too.
I think you did an awesome job and if it takes a few days for a 4 year goal totally worth it. Some people just don’t get it! Once again great job 👏
mine lasted 8 years, now they are starting to chip a little
That’s amazing!! 🙌 In a less traffic-filled area, I think this could’ve lasted a lot longer too!
I just saved myself 150 buuuucks
Definitely don't like the fact it scratches that easy. Then having to redo it in 3 to 4 years from living with problem areas. I was thinking about it but for those reasons I think I'm out.
I’m glad we could help you figure it out! We wanted to give people a realistic view of the results they would get so that could make that choice! Happy it helped :)
Sponge roller?
Yep it worked better than the fluffy one that came with it and got lint everywhere
