DIY Kitchen Makeover with Giani Granite Paint. My kitchen is very outdated and needs a makeover badly. So I decided to start with the counter tops. I had no idea that you don’t need to go out and spend tons of money to have beautiful looking granite counter tops. I have always wanted granite but never wanted to spend that kind of money. So I started to go on a search for inexpensive ways to spruce up your counter top that you can do yourself.

And that’s what led me to Giani Granite Paint for counter tops found on GianiGranite.com, the cost is only $69.99. I choose the Chocolate Brown Giani Granite Kit.

PLEASE READ MY UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST BEFORE PURCHASING! ANY paint product that claims you don’t have to sand the surface prior to applying is just wishful thinking. It may hold up for a while, but it will ALWAYS eventually fail.

If it is a finish that never gets used or touched, it might last quite a while. But anything that gets regular use and contact – like a counter top – is definitely going to peel/blister. They claim this to entice those who want to cut corners or who don’t know any better. I NEVER paint anything over an old finish without thoroughly sanding and prepping the surface, regardless of what they claim. I have always said, preparation is 90% of the work.

Application is the easy part. It’s just like the the advertised all-in-one paint AND primer. No such thing. The entire idea of a primer is to have a uniform, clean, dry surface for the finish paint to bond to. I even had a professional painter do some trim work in my house while I worked on other projects. He insisted he didn’t need to sand the shiny finish of the trim he was painting over because the paint he was using was designed to bond to any surface. Even though I knew better, I let him finish as he was already nearly done when I realized what he was doing.

Now a year later, the paint he applied comes off in sheets. No way to even repair what he did as it is impossible to feather the peeled part with the older surface.

I am probably going to use this product but my husband is a painting contractor and what we will do is use an orbital sander with probably 80 grit sand paper to make the countertop porous to accept the paint. Then once the finish is completed use a fine sand paper on the orbital again. Then instead of using their top coat we will probably use a product called liquid glass or an epoxy topcoat to top coat for maximum strength. Just a FYI for others. These countertops should be bulletproof once completed. A little more money but well worth it and still way cheaper than replacing! I was thrilled with the results of the Giani products after many hours of work.

I am a craftsperson and make sure I followed the directions carefully. Unfortunately I had the same results as the person that posted first. Put a damp object on the countertop, come back later, and you’ll find that the finish bubbles up. Many areas are pulling away from the black undercoat. There are lots of knicks and scratches even though we have been extremely careful about not cutting on the surface. I finally had to post notes in the kitchen to let others know what they couldn’t do to the surface. I am now going to attempt to touch up the worst areas and then seal it with a pourable epoxy resin that I hope will put a tough finish to the countertops.

I would never use the Giani product again. Crossing The Rubicon Rajamohan Pdf.
