  • This was an easy, $40 face-lift PAINT: amzn.to/3wBXaWB. WARNING: Do not wear headphones!!! Goodbye Green Countertop!! This project took me THREE days to do (not including drying and curing time) sanding, cleaning, taping and painting. Four easy steps, aside from waiting! I used 400 grit san paper by hand and with a sander. I had significant water damage, which caused swelling of the wood underneath the laminate, i was able to sand that down with a power sander with a rougher grit followed by the 400 grit for a smoother finish. I had to sand down so much in a particular area that the sander chunked out some ply-wood, so as i mentioned in the video, I used Gorilla wood glue to patch that, let it dry and painted over it. We had the sander, sandpaper, and gorilla glue on hand.
    🔅If you have painted your countertops, how did you do it? Do you like it? How is is holding up?
    🔅What do you think we should put in as a back splash? We are leaning heavily toward shiplap or galvanized metal so we do not need to worry about making the messy wall smooth. What do you think? Oh man I would LOVE to do a faux cement with rock .... how cool would that be?! 😃

    What do you think we should put as our back splash? Something easy, it’s rough and want to easily cover it up, thinking galvanized metal or SHIPLAP.

    As a professional decorator in London i can't recommend a product enough called ESP by Owatrol, no need to sand, its a liquid which can be wiped on pretty much any non porous surface including glass which enables any paint including waterbased paints to stick to any surfaces , we use it to paint old melamine, formica kitchen's and have nothing but brilliant results 😀

    Safety tip: When sanding it's good to wear a dust-filter mask, goggles, & gloves. A synthetic surface may have especially irritating dust. Also if you can rent an electric sander with a vacuum attached, it's faster & cleaner.

    I watched your video and did my counters too! It has been over a year and a half and it is fantastic! You saved me a load of cash and tons of time! My bright yellow 70’s installed Formica top, looks brand new and a million times better in white! I also painted my yellow bathroom tile ! It is also amazing! Over a year as well. We have been really careful as some paint started to come up in the molded soap rests in the shower. I sanded and repainted. Left extra time for curing, kept fairly dry between showers and put a plastic soap holder in the molded painted holder so it doesn’t peel up again from being overly saturated. Works like a charm! I am going to paint the yellow floor tiles in guest bath. It will need extra cure time and a floor mat so it stays dry…since it is a floor. think it will be just fine! Best thing is…easy to paint over and super cheap if u have to touch up anything! Thank u soooo much!!!

    You are as good at this as many I see on the home improvement shows and cooking shows on their respective cable television shows.

    Those counters look beautiful! I know that they now make a paint specifically for laminate/Formica countertops. I’ve seen a lot of people use peel and stick wallpaper, but to be honest, it may look good on camera, but I have a feeling it looks like wallpaper in person. I can imagine that painting looks so much better.
    PS I used appliance paint to restore a refrigerator that worked great but had significant rust damage (the “advantages” of living beach front 🙄), and that appliance paint ROCKS! It made the refrigerator look like new, and it LASTED.

    I did this for my mom’s kitchen countertops and she loves it! She had a 70’s orange countertop. I sanded it and decided to do a coat of primer due to the color and painted 2 coats of the white appliance apoxy. It looks great! The only area that didn’t come out smooth was around the kitchen sink. I would definitely remove the clip sinks and prop it up then recaulk if I do it again. Thanks for the video, looks awesome!

    EXTREMELY HELPFUL. You have given me the courage to redo my kitchen counter. Believe it or not it is the original pink... yes pink... Formica countertop that was installed in the house when my father had it built in 1958.

      @@JesiDavisBuildingaSimplerLife .... THANK YOU for the advice about the mask and fans. I definitely will.
      Yes, PINK.... a dark rubber eraser pink. My dad did the closest thing to pink he could for the kitchen because he knew my mom liked it and they were newlyweds and he built the house for my mom. The bathroom also had pink and white marbelized formica type walls in the tub/shower area and a white sink/vanity with gold glitter swirls in it. Ugh. The 50s.
      Very grateful my father built this house though. I miss him ❤

    I painted mine. The laminate had water damage and was black in a lot of places. I used a nap roller so it has texture. It looks like cement. I love it. I used Dixie Belle Slick Stick, no sanding required. Then chalk paint and sealed with Gator Hide. It takes a month to cure so I washed dishes in the bathroom.

    This was done extremely well - good prep, technique! Most of the videos I’ve seen where folks weren’t thrilled was probably because they didn’t do the prep correctly, or put on too thick a layer each time. Even with regular painting you should always opt for multiple thin coats.
    And you really have to tape off the borders etc.
