Based on your video I did our double vanity countertops and here is my experience. First, this spray paint really disperses in small areas, so my suggestion is to cover everything with plastic. This includes doorknobs, floors, light fixtures, tub, toilet, etc. It took me two days to clean up with a paint remover and a scrub pad. Second, make sure you sand really well. Do it two to three times and make sure the surface feels coarse, not smooth. If you don't, the paint will NOT stick and you will see paint bubbles. This is hard to cover and does not look good. Do three to four coats, but let partially dry in between applications. Once completely dry I used a Rustoleum clear high gloss application to give it a nice finish. For us, this is a stop-gap until we have the funds to do a complete bathroom makeover. I am hoping it will last a couple years.

I actually use Rustoleum x 2 spray paint and painted my sink spout and handles & the drain! They turned out PHENOMENAL! It has been 4 years and they still look fantastic! I use bleach, awesome & all types of cleaner and they have never chipped or faded what so ever! I painted them a nickel color!

That paint is so good. 8 years ago, I painted my fridge from almond to white. Even to today, it looks perfect and you'd never guess it was ever anything but white. Will try on countertops

As an advice I'll say if you spray paint this counter tops with spray paint epoxy or any other to make it last longer you need to spray clear coat on top of it like epoxy clear coat. That will protect the surface much better.

ziggilypiggily no problem! Also i sanded my surface slightly with fine grit sandpaper and then applied the spray. You will need ventilation or a mask as it has a potent smell. I did two coats. Theres alot of white dust from the product so i did have to wipe down pretty much the whole bathroom afterwards. For the price and durability so far its been worth it.- I found the appliance epoxy very sticky to work with.

Glad this held up for you, thanks for the update. The Dollar Tree has a silicon pot holder that I use to lay my hot tools on in the bathroom to not burn my sink, you might want to try it.

I would add two things.... yes sand the area down but then I would try to take out any loose paint by trying to lift the area with my finger nail to make sure that what's left is adhering well to the surface. When finished with any spray paint it's good to hold it upside down and give it a little spray it for a few seconds. That prevents the nozzle from getting clogged and keeps it ready for the next time it's needed.

I appreciate the update and honest review

Great to see you saving and preserving old instead of overconsumption and polluting the planet. Blessings!

this update is much appreciated -- in my mind its a bit disappointing that it peeled like that. I am wondering if some sort of bonding primer would have helped. Perhaps more sanding is required to scarify?

Definitely another project for me. Will definitely be sharing.

I think the reason you are seeing it chip in some spots (sink left side) is becouse the epoxy spray that you use is not meant for bathroom coutertops. It's actually meant to be used on metal surfaces. Therefore the better product to use is Rust-Oleum Specialty Tub & Tile Aerosol.

Thanks Valerie for this, it is helpful and very convenient. We tried and we got some suggestions and I would like to share. 1. think carefully whether you want to use indoors, because the fume in definitely toxic and lasts longer than you think. If you are someone who really cares about your indoor air quality, you don't want to use it. 2. Cover floor also, because the spray will be everywhere. 3. I don't know how to clean this kind of material, e.g. if the real countertop gets dirty, I can use bleach or all-purpose cleaner, etc, I can use a brush. But with this material on it, I don't know when it gets dirty, how shall I clean it. 4. It is painting and it's obvious actually, if you care, just change a countertop or whole vanity. So I personally am a bit regret of doing that actually, just some suggestions in case anyone is hesitating. But it could also be that I was not good at doing it. Just for a reference.

I just did this to my bathroom countertop tonight. It all went went until I obsessed over the smallest imperfection a few hours after I applied the epoxy. I sanded the spot down and put a light coat over the countertop and then a crackled/bubbled look began to form. It looked so perfect and shiny the first time around, I should have just left it. Do you have any suggestions for how to fix it? should I re-sand the entire countertop and at what grit? And how long should I wait to fix this?

Just reading this comment now but wanted to add in case anyone else sees. From what I’ve seen in other videos, it’s SUPER important to do recoats/touch ups within 30 minutes or you have to wait a full week to do another coat. After 30 minutes and before one week you will get wrinkling because of the phase the epoxy is in drying wise I guess.

I have watched people doing their kitchen counter top with the Rust-oleum appliance paint that comes in a gallon can. They clean, sand, put on a primmer, then paint.

With these older sink tops instead of spray painting just do the epoxy method. Cheap, looks great and it lasts!

you can try polyurethane spray or brush on it will last longer

How is it holding up 3 years later?

You can paint the patches again. Just sand it and paint the patch. Not all the sink. Just the patch and let it dry 1 day.
