Love the transformation! Such a great way to refresh kitchen countertops on a budget.

Gayle,

I would sand so there is no ridge “to the touch”. Does that make sense? Use your fingers, not your eyes. You may consider painting those areas first, feathering the paint away from the peeling areas, then doing your first coat over the entire counter top.
good luck,

Thank you so much for this! I also painted my countertops with Giani about 13 years ago. They held up well–no regrets! This past year, they are really chipping and bubbling up in the high use areas. I have been wondering if I can paint over them again even though they are sealed with acrylic. You have showed that I can! My question is –should I sand down to the countertop in those areas that are peeling and textured/bubbling before priming again. You said you did light sanding but my areas are more worn than yours were. Any advice would be appreciated!

Shaun,

I didn’t seal my countertops. I bought the HTP sealer, but never applied it. Water is definitely a problem if you don’t seal. I don’t think I would paint the counter of a child’s bathroom without sealing. In addition, I would let is cure really well before turning them loose in there. 😉

Hi! I’d to know: how did you maintain your painted countertops? I read this post-https://www.caesarstone.ca/blog/should-you-be-painting-your-bathroom-countertops/, as I am interested in renovating my children’s bathroom. It mentioned that moisture and heat are the things that mostly harm painted countertops. How did you protect the painted counters from such damaging conditions?

Mary,

I never sealed my countertops. I am very cautious with them. Paula would definitely recommend that you seal the paint for a bathroom vanity. (sink) There is one tiny chip that happened after the holidays, so I’m not sure how it happened or who did it. No staining, but I would never let water stand on the countertop as is. I still LOVE the look and I’m so glad I painted them. Is it forever? NO, but I’m okay with that! I am currently painting my daughters wooden bathroom vanity with London. It’s looking soooo pretty. But her sink and countertop are granite or some other kind of stone.

Hi. I’m considering doing the HTP for my bath vanity. It looks like yours was done about a year ago. Can you please comment back how the durability is? Any chipping, staining etc? Thank you in advance… I can’t seem to find anyone who posts an updated review. 😊. You did a fantastic job.

Your kind comment is very much appreciated. The kitchen still makes me smile. No regrets at all, and I LOVE the new sink!

Thanks so much Dee.

It will do for now, until I tire of it in another 10 or so years! hahahaha
