Luckily I used appliance paint first, after watching a video from another podcaster. I put 3 coats on, not much prep but light sand, fans going in between and very dry time of year is imp! It has lasted 3 years so far!!! I ended up doing my bathroom tile that was yellow and even a guest bath that had yellow tile. It is great and lasts!!! Don’t wash it with anything abrasive and max dry time before putting anything heavy on it.the humidity level needs to be vey dry! ! Saved me a fortune!!!!!!
That’s awesome!! I want to do my bathroom counter and massive bathtub that takes up so much of my bathroom and it’s so beige. I can’t wait to get to that!
Did you seal it with anything?
No and the can did not say to put anything but the paint, this is made for refrigerators, you sand and paint and it becomes a shiny shell like a fridge
How long did you let it cure?
@@dianaclopton3083 I actually don’t remember but I went by what the can said.
I inherited an old white metal table that was my grandmother’s. It was probably from at least the 40s if not older. My dad had used it in the garage to mount a saw on. I bondo’d the holes and painted it with the appliance paint. It came out great. It’s been three years and it’s holding up awesomely, though it’s not subject to as much wear and tear as a countertop , but no sign of peeling or anything.
Since it came out so great I used it on a couple of other things, including an old dingy mailbox. I used black and it’s been three years and it’s exposed t the elements, including the hot desert sun and it looks as good as new. It was only supposed to be temporary while I looked for something else, but I probably won’t bother now.
Yeah I love that appliance paint. It lasts forever! Great job on your projects! And thanks for watching 🙂
The new pour on epoxy countertops, that you can do yourself, is absolutely amazing! You can make them look like chiseled rock, granite, marble with any color combination you can conceive of! Gorgeous!
That sounds amazing! I wish I had the confidence to do it. I’m terrified of it.
Did ours two years ago there just now starting to need some touch ups in high use areas
Be EXTREMELY careful when using anything with epoxy! Make sure to have a respirator mask and double up the rubber gloves. There's massive numbers of people who end up getting very sick and having major health problems from using epoxy.
@@IKARIANOFFICIAL thank you!
I wish I could epoxy! I’d love to do that.
I finally have the confidence to paint my countertops. Thank you!
Wonderful! Let me know how it goes! 👍❤️❤️
I used the appliance paint on my bathtubs and it worked great. That was 3 years ago. Only issue I had, was my husband would always leave a bar of soap on the same spot in the tub and it actually took the paint off one day when I was cleaning the tub. And if you buy their small touch up paint it was not the same color of white. The paint irself though looka great and I plan on doing another tub.
Good job!
Thank you for all the info you're give us.
So nice of you
The orange countertop kitchen is absolutely unique vintage 1970 color i love it. I would not change it.
I just couldn’t do it sadly 😅 weird color for a house built in 1997
@@ourclassichome it might have been a vintage color choice very mid 1970's cool and classy
I used the appliance epoxy and it turned out great, just had a high odor. Thank you
That’s awesome! Yeah that’s the only thing I couldn’t stand. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us! 😃
My pleasure!!
Thanks for saving me from the wrong choice!!
Any time!
I love you so much for putting this information out, really put my mind at ease
Glad it was helpful! 😊 and thank you for watching 🥰
TY for this very helpful info! I'll be using the appliance paint on my countertops after watching this.
Awesome! Let me know how it goes!
Thanks so much for your honest assessment of these different paints!
My pleasure! 🥰
Thank you so much for your honest review. I'm still debating whether to replace my counters or paint them.
Glad it was helpful!
I used Rust-Oleum countertop paint almost 4 years ago and it still looks great. I did top with 3 coats of polyurethane to keep water and stains away. No regrets here for about $30.00 I gave my counters a new look.
That’s awesome!!
Wow! Great video thank you so much what I was looking for very informative. Looks great!
Glad it was helpful!
Great application and review! Perfect timing for me as I want to paint vanity top in bathroom.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. We can learn from your experience.
My pleasure!
My daughters 1st home was a fixer. She hated the pea green tile in 1 bath and a bright blue in another bath. The tile looked rather new and the house had many other issues that were more of a priority. I told her paint them white. Within a short time she used the spray appliance paint and is so happy that it looks clean. In fact 3 years later, the rest of the bathroom has been remodeled but not the tile around the tub area as there are still other areas of higher priority. I doubt they will get to the tile surround of the tub for many years.
What an awesome story! In fact I’ve been thinking of painting my shower and wasn’t sure about it. Thanks!! And thank you for watching 🤗
Very helpful. Thank you. I was just getting ready to do my countertops.
Glad it was helpful! ☺️ and thank you so much for watch.
Thank you for this 'synopsis' review! It's so helpful
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the information. Much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful!
The boat paint works great on old cast iron sinks. I have painted two cast iron sinks and haven't had issues. I can see why it wouldn't adhere to lamenent countertops.
I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing! This is a big help.
Glad it was helpful!
Informative and entertaining video. Cheers from Toronto, Canada!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this video! It is so helpful!
You're so welcome!
Awesome review -just what I needed to hear.
Yes I agree! I wanted to see a video like this but it didn't exist... so I made one!
I used appliance paint on my countertops and I absolutely love them!! We get chips here and there but I just touch them up with left over paint and they're good as new I'm so glad I did it
How do you clean them?
@Donna-vh5ym like a normal laminate countertop and when I get a little stain I pour a little bit of bleach on the area let it sit for a bit and it comes out
@kmendez4488 // Thank you so much. I'm doing this for sure.!! Your reply was extremely helpful and helped me to make my final decision.
@Donna-vh5ym You're welcome. Glad I could help. 🥰
Awesome! That’s what I did in my Mississippi house. It was so much better then any other paint!
Thanks for this video update. I am getting ready to paint my white kitchen counter tile and needed to know what would work best. Epoxy Appliance Paint it is!
Glad to hear I was able to help ya out. I’ve used several times so I know it works. Let me know how it goes.
Did you use it?
I used topside on an old table and it came out awesome. Also looks like a new top. Drys like a rock. Been two years and have not had any peeling at all. I painted kitchen cabinets also and came out very smooth. Talked to a rep first and asked if it was ok to use on wood. He said it also it resistant to cracking. I’ll def be trying the appliance paint in the future.
I tried…thought since it would be ok for a boat it’d be ok for a simple counter. I don’t know.
Thank you for your honest review. We just bought an older RV and want to renovate it. Sounds like appliance paint for the win!
Glad it was helpful!
Same! I was going to do something else, but I think I may do this instead, just in a different color. 😊
Thank you for this video this has helped me alot ..few years back i used the couter top paint and used epoxy over it and it sucked it still peeled and stated mold around sink so i strpped it all off OMG that was a 2 month job sttipping that paint off because i have so much counter top and and island ive been confused with what to you this helped so much as well as the comments of others trying this 😊
Oh wow let me know how it goes!
Great Job with showing each of the different applications then confirming that the Appliance Epoxy was best in everyday use. Rust-oleum should send a commission of thanks for great reporting of results that stand the test. Wonderful, and thank you. :)
Thank you! They’ve never reached out to me but I would welcome that for sure! Thanks for watching 🥰
This was very helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Great. Thanks so much for sharing 😊
My pleasure 😊
Thank you great review !!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I used appliance paint in my shower and love how it turned out. I plan to do the rest of the bathroom countertops in that as well. Biggest issue was how long it smelled, but so easy to apply. I wish they had more colors - not sure I want to do white in my kitchen.
Yes it’s a great paint but very stinky! I would do more projects with it if it didn’t smell so bad. Glad you love your shower now 🙂
I’m going to try that too.
How long did it smell?
@@G-borg a few days
@@G-borg I would say about 2-3 days
Very helpful! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, VERY helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm sorry you went through all of that, but thank you for saving me money. I found your video because I am re-repainting my counter because I just don't like the color on mine. I thought I could go cheaper than the Giani paint. 3 years ago I bought the Giani Countertop paint bombay black and it worked super well, it has held up very nice and I scrub my counters. I just don't like the dark black in my kitchen and I guess I will have to spend the additional price to buy the Giani cause it works.
Awesome! I’ve always wanted to try that but the expense didn’t make sense since it would be a temporary fix for that house until I saved for the quartz we wanted. Glad to hear your experience with Giani! Thanks for watching! ❤️
I did use that counter top paint and the same thing happened to me…chip and discoloration..need to re paint…thanks for the information will give it a try…
Hope everything turns out great! ☺️
People continue to insist in the comments that you need a primer. The only primer you need is a good sanding and go on with your appliance paint!! I have painted countertops too, that came with my house, it's an old 1960's oil based so I don't know what it is, but it's very heavy duty, and very 1960's yellow! Maybe someday I will fix it :)
I know right? I get that all the time. If the can says don’t prime I won’t! Why add to my workload 😅
Amazing!
Thanks!
Awesome video. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much for this information!!! I've been using floor paint for my kitchen counter and it keeps cracking or peeling off...
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Wish I had seen this before I bought the topside paint for my tub.
Thank you, very informative. I too used the boat paint as advised by a friend on my camper and it too peeled off yet only on the top, sides are fine. I'm thinking the heat of the sun had something to do with it. Which is the next project this coming summer, repainting the top. I'll take your advice.
Glad to help! 😊
Your video is exactly what I needed! You saved me so much time and money. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching 😊
Thanks for this excellent video. I'll use the Rust-Oleum epoxy paint first then cover it with liquid epoxy on top. That's how convert cheap lanolium to a Granite or quarts looking countertop.
If you’ll be using liquid epoxy over the whole thing then you can just use any paint underneath. The clear liquid epoxy is a very hard shell and will protect any paint at all. I just never used it because I’m terrified of the drips and the whole mixing of the 2 parts thing. Haha. Anyway thanks for watching! 😊
Appliance paint all the way! I have to redo mine because I didn't do a great job about 4 years ago but it can withstand heat & water.
Yes! Exactly. It’s so durable! Thanks for watching 😊
Thank you. My dad’s countertops are terrible. I’ll try the appliance paint
Let me know how it goes! Thanks for watching!
Calidad! Muy buena presentación!
Muchas gracias! ❤️
I like a good diy. Thanks. (If you do this again, take a look at how you are rolling the paint on in short random directions and placing the can down on the surface. It all adds up to a less ideal finish.)
Thanks for the tip!
Thankyou for that info 😊
My pleasure 😊
I was always told that you had to paint over the zinser shellac within a day because it cures hard and then there is poor adhesion to it as the primer would repel it
Interesting thanks! I have used Behr hi gloss enamel white and then put a couple coats of polycrylic for about 6 years ! I clean it with a bleach based counter spray and even cleanser for a tough stain! If it gets worn out due to the polycrylic I just Re paint and Re coat! I may try the appliance paint though !!! Cool.
That’s my next project. I’ll do a paint effect on the counters with simple acrylics then seal with the poly acrylic times like you said. I’ll just touch up as needed.
Will the acrylic work with the paint
Rust oleum has always been the worst least durable water resistant paint for decades. They also bought some good companies and ruined their brand too.
I recently discovered Behr Ultra scuff defense paint as an Oops paint. And it is astonishing, truly astonishing. It dried like a rock over my RV plastic counter top where lots of water drops and hangs. Absolutely no moisture penetration. I can’t scratch or harm it. However, my 150 German Shepard had a panic attack that I was gone and I can see he was able to scar it with the full force of his deadly claws waking at it. In a small spot. But still did not get through the paint entirely. I am sold, and changing the entire house now
Alternately I painted my neighbors wind beaten door with Behr marquee interior eggshell enamel and it is so hard it feels like epoxy and not paint. Gonna try this on a counter or shelf. But the scuff defense is a scrub-uble surface, guaranteed in the can.
And thank you for making this video.
Very helpful, thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!!
This is the best video I have seen so far! I have been looking to paint our kitchen counters for ages now, you have given three examples to use, what you did to prep, how long to wait, and how it turned out! Now I feel better about my decision to paint our countertops. Thank you so much for the amazing advice and video! ❤
Awww you're very welcome! I made the video because I wish there was a video like this when I was thinking about painting my counters! It helps me too because I can look back in case I forget my own tips... LOL Have a great day.
Thanks, it arrived on time, I was searching and deciding which paint, was a better thanks, I will try that one. Did you use any sealing oat or just that paint? Thanks
Just the paint. No need for sealer.
Thank you for your honesty. I’ve painted plenty of floors and Zinsser Cover Stain has never failed me as a primer. It’s oil based and stinky, but sticks to anything! NO SaNding!!! 👏👏👏 I’ll try that and then the appliance paint on our guest vanity.
Awesome let me know how it goes!
Curious how this wind is I’m starting to plan my project
BIN is a great product but not suitable for anywhere that might have water. Shellac does not like water. A bonding primer would be much more appropriate.
Ty for sharing !
My pleasure!
Hurray! I have 2 bathroom counters to go…. Thx
You can do it!
Rust-Oleum came out with a new countertop coating kit called Rustoleum HOME Countertop Coating kits. Try using that for the next countertop paint project! It's suppose to work a lot better!
Ok thanks. I see it’s more $$ than the can that’s why I used the can. Most of these kits are just supplies you can gather from store. I’m
Thinking of giving my counters a second coat and maybe some design to it.
topside boat paint works well for areas where it won't come in contact with heat. It was great it my bathtub until I filled it with scalding hot water.
Oh no so sorry that happened to you.
A two part epoxy is the way to go . A paint tray and better quality brushes and rollers will make your job better and much easier. You are much better off doing multiple coats rather than one or two really thick coats. You can see the rippled orange peal look in your finished counters and this could be eliminated.
Yes that countertop was extremely textured to begin with. The paint was as smooth as it’s going to get unfortunately. Thanks for watching!
Great video. I'm doing this.
Awesome! Let me know how it goes!
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
Thanks
i am finally ready to paint my countertop tank you so much before see your video it is a night mare for me beacause to much stuff in home depot and somtime the staff know nothing on this stuff...tank again sorry for my english i am french 🙂
You can do it!
I had great results with the rustoleum counter top paint
So happy to hear that!! Its amazing. Thanks for watching!
thank you for this... i have purchased topside paint and wqs told by lowes no primer no sealant necessary but i was logically contemplating appliance paint.... i will now take and swap it out for the appliance paint for sure!! Really good to see long term results because so many videos are beautiful when done but you're kind of thinking "ill call you in 6 months!" and see how its holding up! 😂
Exactly, I never found any long term videos so I made one! hehe
You should do stone coat epoxy, I did it in my kitchen and it been about a year and a half and still looks great. Also with the epoxy you can make it look like real stone.
It has crossed my mind but I’m terrified of doing it! Haha
Wow… that orange 😳
I know!! Yuk! It was everywhere and on the outside too. The house is beige outside with an orange 70s stipe across it. The house was built in 1997 like why bring your 70s with you ewww. And the tile floors too. So much orange 🍊
Thanks for sharing your experience, it is very helpful. With the appliance paint, did you also use a top coat?
You're very welcome! No I did not, there's no need it becomes a shiny shell like you see on a fridge. ITS AMAZING!
Thanks for your reply!
Anytime!
I will definitely get appliance paint
It’s the best in my opinion
Great video...I wonder how the Rust-Oleum High Heat paint would hold up?
Good question! I don’t know if they make a can of that. I don’t know how a spray would work indoors.
Thank you!!!
You're welcome! 😊
Very helpful
Glad you think so!
Very very helpful! How long did you use the appliance paint for though? Did you move out right away or were you able to see how long it lasted?
It was a good 1.5 years and I sold it that way the realtor loved it and asked me how to do it for her moms house and the buyer loved it too. No complains!
Just curious why you didn't put a clear top coat over the appliance paint? Lowes has one that goes on thick and is for specific for bars and table tops etc? seems like it would keep it from chipping staining etc?. We will be painting our countertops with the appliance paint soon..Is it tintable?
Theres no need. It is appliance paint and epoxy, feel the surface of your fridge..that's how it comes out, no need for a top coat and it is not suggested on the can. It comes out like a great hard shiny shell. Thanks for watching!
What about yellowung over time? Will I need a kind of coating to prevent this?
Luv your outcome
Not the appliance paint. feel the surface of your fridge..that's how it comes out, no need for a top coat and it is not suggested on the can. It comes out like a great hard shiny shell. Thanks for watching!
The appliance epoxy works great!!
Yes it does! We love it!
@@ourclassichome. Just to clarify when you used the appliance paint for your countertop: NO primer and NO topcoat/sealer of any kind… Correct?
Thanks for your response.
@@gigics6695 Correct, if the counters are dark you may need 2 coats though.
I have used bin on wall and ceilings with great results. Do you think I should use the bin on my formica countertops before I apply the appliance paint?
I didn't have any luck with BIN on my formica counters. Why don't you test it out somewhere you cant really see.
I’m currently researching my options here and appliance paint is an interesting choice. I’ll be considering that for sure.
Did you apply a clear top coat in any of these? That might address the issues you had around the sink and such.
Other videos I’m seeing suggest the following: repair defects, clean, sand, mineral spirits, two coats primer, dry six hours, two coats paint, dry four hours, two coats clear topcoat, cure 24 hours, light use for two weeks before complete cure.
Yes that should work with the other paints but I noticed with the appliance paint those things were not necessary which was true, the appliance paint was the most reliable. Thanks for watching!
@@ourclassichome thank you!
You're very welcome!!
Have you considered doing some of the countertops with ceramic tile - that can be a charming relief from all painted. Thanks for this comparison!
Tile countertops are VERY hard to keep clean, especially if you use white grout as I made the mistake of doing once.
Thank you for this video. I painted mine years ago and poured resin over them. I wonder if I can use this paint over resin???
I’ve never done that before. Maybe try a hidden spot?
What’s wrong with the resin?
Nothing wrong just a lot of work I’m scared of. All the dripping and such. I don’t know enough about it.
Hey there,
Did you have to prep the surface any or just applied two coats?
We cleaned everything with just soap and water but I would sand a bit.
How about cooking stains? For example, any stains from yellow Turmeric? or red tomato splashes?
If I got a stain i used bleach and it would go away. Thanks for watching!
I'm about to do a small 2x4 faux marble counter in my bathroom. After many peoples reviews of using the appliance epoxy I'm going with that. Wasn't aware there was going to be a smell. There is a vent but now window.
Then marble effect and for a topcoat deciding between a two part epoxy or Minwax Polycrylic. Why have you never used a seal coat of any kind?
The paint instructions do not require a topcoat.
What kind of paint are you going to use and will it adhere to what you're putting on there
How long has the appliance paint lasted? Does it chip off? Will it work on ceramic tiles?
It lasted the whole time we lived at that house 1.5 years and I believe the buyers are still using it. I never saw any chips that I can remember.
I love it
Thank you!
Rostelum have other colors or just white color???
Your counters look amazing and i want paint mine too they are very old
Thanks
They do have other colors. You can check them out on their website.
@@ourclassichome
Thanks 😊
Epoxy paint is the way to go for countertops, that’s why the second one worked. Dries super hard.
Yes always!
I'm surprised you didn't add a coat of polyurethane on top of the paint to seal it. It adds a level of protection to your counter so that cleaning won't ruin your paint job.
I would of but the instructions did not suggest a topcoat as it is an all-in-one paint.
@@ourclassichome no judgment. Just curious.
@@mammaduck3863 absolutely here to help any way I can! 😊
Polyurethane yellowed my countertops. I am about to redo with appliance paint. Thanks for this.
Use poly acrylic
You can have any of those paints tinted at your local paint store if too white for your taste
I heard you couldn’t but if you ask them where the same type of paint is you can mix it with the same type of paint to make your own color.
They tinted mine at home depot. It has a color chart to choose from that is limited to certain colors. It was the countertop paint.
Awesome!
Does the appliance paint come in other colors that aren't spray paint? Thank you
There's a gray and black, but I have never found the black in a can. If you can take the item outside maybe you can try using the spray form.
Maybe try epoxy countertops by Stonecoat ❤
did the appliance paint create texture on your countertops when using a roller/paint brush?
No it did not, it leveled out on its own. But follow the instructions, if you put on a second coat when you're not suppose to then maybe you will create some texture.
@@ourclassichome thanks! going to be brave and paint counters next week. appreciate your video, was very helpful
