ABSTRACT:
A method for refinishing a countertop in order to achieve a granite, a marble, or other desired look uses an oil-based paint having a glaze therein applied as a base coat to a countertop that has been prepared smooth and taped as needed. Once the base coat dries, one or more additional coats each coat may be the same color as the other additional coats or different from the other coats, and each additional coat being a different color from the base coat. One of three applicators is used for the additional coats including a feather, a rag, and a sponge, the selection of the applicator or applicators, and the color or colors to apply with each, being dependant on the particular look desired. Once all paint is applied and a dried, a polyurethane coat is applied to give additional luster, in order for the finish to be either more granite-like or more marble-like in appearance and in order to protect the finish.
