Beyond Paint Countertop Makeover Kit with Paint, Sealer, Flecks and Tools for Countertops, Bright White

You think that the paint and speckles won't be enough, but there is heaps to do the whole kitchen if need be. We just did the benchtop and it turned out amazing. Hardly any smell so the house didn't smell like paint. It dried quickly and was just super easy to understand instructions. So happy with final result I had to write my first review on amazon to share the good news.

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.

The product I got was clumpy even after shaking and stirring. The brush and roller it came with is complete garbage. Save your money, don't buy the kit. Just buy the paint on its own and go invest in a better quality brush and roller. The roller didn't role so I only had the brush to use and it left brush marks. The flakes are ugly and actually made the end product look dated, I would recommend not using the flakes. The paint itself had some trouble sticking to a bathroom laminate countertop. Really disappointed in this product. The only good thing is the color is true to the picture. Not much else worked out. I think in another year I'll have to redo the countertop again but using proper methods. If I could redo this whole thing, I would have just lightly sanded the surface not just used degreaser.

These worked well, though I wish you could get them in a darker tone. Note if you are using, not all will stick so overdo it a bit. Also, generally only the smallest chips come out of the shaker, so I took the lid off and put some larger flecks on then put the shaker top back on and added some smaller flecks that way. It made for a more even appearance. Overall, a fun product for a specific look.

Great color, great coverage, no obnoxious fumes, and I would not hesitate to buy again. It came with flecks, I loved the way it looked without so I didn’t add them to my counter.
