Countertop Paint & Coatings

Countertop Paint & Coatings let you refresh kitchens, baths, laundry rooms, and workspaces without the cost and mess of full replacement. These systems are engineered to bond to laminate, tile, wood, concrete, and cultured marble, with specialty primers that help on challenging surfaces like granite or quartz. The result is a durable, easy-to-clean surface that resists stains, scratches, moisture, and everyday heat, with food-contact-safe topcoats available after full cure.

Common options include:
- Epoxy countertop kits: self-leveling, high-gloss finishes with stone-look veining or metallic effects.
- Water-based acrylic systems: low odor, quick-dry, easy cleanup for fast weekend projects.
- 2K urethane clear coats: superior chemical and abrasion resistance over color bases.
- Concrete countertop sealers: penetrating or film-forming for natural or polished looks.

You’ll find finishes in matte, satin, or gloss, tintable bases, color chips, metallic pigments, and accent flakes. Most kits bundle primer, color coats, and a clear sealer so you get predictable coverage and consistent results.

Preparation is the key to longevity. Clean with a degreaser, sand or degloss, vacuum dust, and repair chips with a compatible filler. Mask edges and ensure good ventilation. Recommended tools include foam or microfiber rollers, high-density foam brushes, mixing cups and drill mixers, squeegees or notched trowels for epoxies, spiked rollers, and a heat gun or torch to release bubbles.

Typical workflow: prime or etch; apply base coat; add veining or flakes; pour and level epoxy if used; remove bubbles; then cure and seal. Expect light use in 24–48 hours and full cure in 5–7 days, depending on temperature and humidity. Coverage varies—many kits handle 35–50 sq ft; quarts of paint can cover 50–100 sq ft in thin coats.

Safety matters: wear gloves and eye protection, use a respirator for solvent epoxies, and choose low-VOC or food-safe options when needed. For long life, use non-abrasive cleaners, cutting boards, and trivets, and touch up or recoat high-wear areas as needed. Perfect for DIY updates and reliable for pros seeking repeatable, high-quality resurfacing.
