What Customers Are Saying

The product can provide a cost-effective solution for transforming dated countertops, but requires careful preparation and application to achieve good results. Customers who followed instructions and used high-quality tools generally had positive experiences, with the coating providing good coverage and a nice finish. However, many reported significant issues, including an overpowering odor, difficulty with application leading to bubbles or uneven coverage, and poor durability, with the paint chipping, scratching, or leaving indentations easily. The product may not live up to claims, and customers should be aware of the potential downsides and be willing to put in significant time and effort to achieve acceptable results.

Pleasantly surprised!

Would Recommend

Purchased this as a last effort to salvage our counters before we replaced them. We are selling our house in a few months and didn't want to spend a lot of money. We don't have much counter space, so it only took me about an hour from start to finish (including taping). I did about 3 coats. I let dry overnight and was able to use the counters the next day. Be careful of the type of roller you use- there is a little texture left on the counter top because I used wall rollers. The only issue ...

Affordable Transformation

Would Recommend

I am a diy’r. Transforming spaces on a budget is my passion. This is the first time I have used this product. The space I was working on was a 1980’s bathroom in serious need of updating. I had a tiny budget for this project. I researched options to affordably update a formica/ laminate surface and came up with this product. I am not a professional painter, handyman, etc.. I’m just a woman on a mission to make old things look beautiful again. I followed the directions to a point. However, I ...

looking for an easy way to update countertops

Would Recommend

My wife and I wanted to update our countertops as reasonable as possible, this seemed like something we wanted to try. We added a glitter to have a little gleam on the surface and it worked out. Wish the coating came with the glitter in it as we were not sure if it would work. It does look better than before.

Worst ever

Would Not Recommend

I used this product’s instructions down to the letter. Within days, the paint began to chip. I put a crockpot (on low heat) on my counter and it left a large discolored area. I spilled juice and it soaked in and now I have a red stain. If the counter is damp, and you put a newspaper or magazine on it, the print transfers onto the counter. It’s the worst product I’ve ever used. I really didn’t want to replace my kitchen counters. Now I have no choice. Do not buy!

updated old counter tops

Would Recommend

Gave our counter tops a brand new look. A bit overwhelming chemical smell, Recommend ventilating well and planning some out door activity during the curing /dry time.

Easy and inexpensive update to old countertop

Would Recommend

Easy to use. Give extra drying time to harden completely. Put on two coats on with a light hand to avoid “puddles”. Use foam roller so there are no pieces of “fluff” left behind in wet surface.

This takes longer than 3 days to dry

Would Recommend

I recommend letting each coat dry 24 hr per coat. Mine looked so great till I put a cup on it I used 3 coats and I truly believe that if I would have waited 24 hr per coat it would have been fine. I plan on sanding it down and painting it again and reminding myself that it’s not heat proof

Awesome product

Would Recommend

I am a licensed finish contractor that renos trailers often. The choice to replace a countertop is pricy, but the product saves the day and the finish is great looking and hard. It is able to be tinted to match any interior and that is a plus.
