So yes you can paint over granite countertops and make them a thing of beauty.
Some are available in both solid colors and a flecked or pebbled granite finish.
One important tip for painting countertops is to paint in 2 foot wide sections at a time which felt a little counterintuitive to me at first.
Two part epoxy or appliance paint is typically applied with a sprayer but some formulas can be painted with a foam roller and brush.
I do not recommend starting out with kitchen or bathroom countertops those are big projects and you want to see how the surface will wear with different uses.
If you simply don t like granite it would be simpler to tear it out and put in a different type of counterop.
Allow the paint to dry thoroughly according to manufacturer s directions.
Paint the granite using the same small n shaped strokes you used with the primer crossing over your work for complete coverage.
Acrylic paint dries to provide the hard surface needed for heavy use areas like countertops while water based acrylic paint cleans up with water and is low on odors.
Finish with light strokes working perpendicular to the cross strokes so the paint covers smoothly.
If you choose to buy a granite painting kit like giani granite you ll apply a primer to your countertop then use sponges to apply a series of colored paints until they marble together like real granite would.
