Beyond Paint Countertop Makeover Refinishing Kit, Khaki

The countertops of this rental property were previously painted black and over the years the tenant had chipped them here and there and filled the spots in with a Sharpie, so they needed some attention. I thought this looked like it would camouflage the chips, as well as the uneven previous paint job, and I was right. It was relatively simple to do, though tape really well around the sink. Even with stainless, it was a chore to remove the paint that did make it on there. I would also recommend removing the faucet if you can, because getting around that in that tiny space behind it was difficult. The most difficult part was getting the flakes onto the vertical surfaces such as that front edges and backsplash. I found a thin piece of cardboard from a package of curtains and ended up sprinkling the flakes onto that and them flicking the cardboard from underneath so they just kind of popped on there. Some places I just blew them off gently. I wasn't concerned with waste because I think there were plenty of flakes. I think it really came out nice and was pleased with the end result.

So I got the color Sage and it was a bit more blueish, rather than the Olive green color shown online and on the brochure. Beautiful look though, very easy and also messy with the paint flakes. Oh, also I’d suggest to buy paint flakes from somewhere else (or on amazon in lbs) because one bottle wasn’t enough for my 38sqft countertops. I had to buy three more bottles for $80…. anyway, it’s an awesome product and i highly suggest it. I had faux blonde wood linoleum countertops before and it’s a total 180 for less than $200!

This is a good product to use when you want to give your countertops a facelift and can't afford new ones. It is easy to use and the step by step directions are clear. There are some drawbacks though. Roller/brush marks can be see and since the paint dries quickly, you cannot try to smooth out the marks. If you tape anything off, be sure the tape is no where the paint will be because if thee is pain on the tape, when the paint dries, it pulls the paint off the countertop as well. Lastly, the speckles in the bottle are too large to fit through the holes in the lid. If you shake the bottle too hard and too much comes out, it is not easy to spread out the speckles, so you end up with a clump or group of speckles in one spot. Overall, my bathroom counter looks good and as long as you don't look too closely at the imperfections and the paint gives the bathroom a fresh look for a lot less money.

I love the ease of the product. I have used and brand in the past. Make sure you order the kit and get one more small brush.

I followed the instructions yet it come off. .. terrible product

Nice color just looked a little more yellow than it turned out. Kit made it easy to use

The media could not be loaded. Easy to useFast application of every coat and short dry times.Mediocre brush & roller included, repeatedly had to pick out roller chunks while applying.Looks beautiful BUT for a product intended for use around sinks, it's unfortunate that when water cuts on it for a few minutes- it changes the color until t fully dries. So the solution is to be sure and wipe dry each and every drip or sitting water after every use. Disappointing.One kit covered my 8 foot long double sink countertop with enough left over to probably do 1 more single sink countertop.

After applying the first coat on my counter top I realized they did not send me any flakes. Hopefully Lowe’s will have some. The roller they provide does not glide easily and I had a hard time actually getting it to roll. It more like just pushed the paint on. I will change rollers and roller handle for 2nd coat and see how it does. So far my experience has not been great. Very frustrating. I will update this review when completely done.
