Giani Granite Countertop Paint Kit 2.0-100% Acrylic (White Diamond)

Value and quality. Easy to use. Dyes quickly, durable and beautiful

Directions were clear, easy application. The worst part is waiting for it to dry. Before our counters were cream, and looked awful against the white painted cabinets. Now the slate looks great!

This product works exactly as intended. What a great idea! My counters look great!

Honestly, I kept this kit in my cart for MONTHS. I read and reread the reviews, looked at pictures, watched videos, and still didn't take the plunge. I am here to tell you - JUST GO FOR IT! My countertops were 1982 originals. They could've been worse, but not by much. Laminate, manila looking counters and I despised them every time I walked into my kitchen since we moved in 11 months ago. I LOVE the way my new kitchen looks now. The process was really straight forward, but watch the videos to learn the tips and tricks. And for heaven's sake, practice! We used the Bombay Black and I think that helped encourage me to be free with my sponging technique since I could come back in with the black accent color and cover up any excess. There are some reviews that said their paints were chunky, but ours were perfect. I do advise to stir the heck out of the topcoat to get all the glitter infused. The glitter is beautiful and really adds the final *kiss* to the look. My one gripe, the topcoat does not hold up well to scuffing or scratching. I waited the full 14 days before I put anything other than a towel on the counter because I was terrified to mess it up, but even now small scratches can be seen. We may go the route of the epoxy topcoat later on, but I wasn't ready to dig into that just yet. Judging by some of the other reviews and pictures, it might be the best option.

This is my third time using this product over the past four years. I had dingy laminate countertops that were not in great shape. Was looking for an economical refresh and this has been it! In the past I didn't have the best looking end result using the sponge on technique, (I was happier with some areas over others) so this time I tossed the sponge and decided to forgo the sponge on technique entirely. I simply primed, and mixed a bit of the White Limestone into the Inca Gold until I achieved the tan shade I was looking for. From there I rolled it on with a foam roller, and used a quality 2" angled sash paintbrush for the back splash. I have about 18 square feet of counterspace and squeaked by/pulled it off using one kit. Because I'd prefer thicker coverage, I ordered an additional can of Inca Gold and White Limestone for that reason. But that's just me. I have found that the areas along the edge of the countertops that get leaned against the most, while reaching into the upper cabinets get the most wear. Also, even after applying the top coat, when wet items are placed on the countertops, it leaves water marks. Until fully dry. Then they disappear completely. For the price, ease of use and OUTSTANDING customer service I would highly recommend this product. It will buy me time, until I can finally decide if I want butcher block or quartz kitchen countertops. Until then, this is a decent refresh. They DO sell an epoxy that would be more durable than the top coat that is included in this kit, but having no experience using an epoxy I will be staying within my comfort zone and using the top coat that’s included. Place painters tape around your sink and stove, keep damp paper towels or baby wipes at the ready, and I suggest wearing disposable gloves. A good product. 11/21/25 UPDATE: I stand by what I said in my initial review. In a nutshell, the customer service is great, and this product is easy to use. That being said, if you’re of average height like I am, and wear a belt with your jeans, leaning over the kitchen sink has put a considerable amount of friction against the countertop in that area. You can see the wear and tear, with the black primer underneath in the attached photo. Any area that gets leaned against the most will show wear and tear. While this is a good product, don’t expect it to last indefinitely. Also, it stains. I used the topcoat that it came with, and in addition, purchased an additional 16 ounces to protect it as much as possible. But at the end of the day, I hold onto my reasonable expectations, as this is still paint.

Was looking for an easy, inexpensive way to fix my 1970's formica countertops. These were originally installed in 1979 and had some sort of textured paint stuff put on about 15 years ago. The paint was peeling off in some places and stuck like crazy in others. I started by trying to scrape off the old textured paint with a razor blade, which worked in some spots and not in others. Finally gave up and just used a sander with 80 grit to remove, knock down edges and smooth out as much as possible. This kit was super easy to use! After the sanding prep and cleaning well, I went in with the primer, right over top of the stubborn painted parts that wouldn't budge. The primer went on easily. Waited the instructed amount of time for drying then did the sponge painting part. I was a little nervous that I would mess it up, but quickly realized that even if I did end up with a big blob of the mica paint, it was easy to go back and fix it by adding more layers where needed. The only thing I found a bit tricky was that towards the end, the Sponges were so loaded with paint that it was almost impossible to get the nice "speckled" looked. I would definitely recommend getting an extra sponge to use when the first one gets too loaded with paint. Even with the sponge challenge, I was able to make it look pretty good. Used glitter topcoat twice. Again, super easy to use. I am so impressed with the way it turned out! I wasn't expecting perfection, just trying to make it look half way decent. I would say mission accomplished! Completely tansformed my almost 50 year old eyesore of a countertop! I can't speak to the durability yet, but for the price and ease of the project, I am very happy!

This paint kit is ok. I attached pictures of all of the stages. The base layer rolls on great. The first layer of sponge paint was a dream to work with, but it went quickly downhill after that. The second two sponge paints got progressively more water. 2b was tolerable, but 2c was an absolute nightmare to work with. It soaks your sponge so you can't get clear sponge work out of it. I have an attached backsplash and I can see clearly where the second two layers got muddy because the paint just doesn't stick as well no matter how lightly you dab, and your sponge gets so soaked even a light dab creates a pretty heavy coat. Not sure if all of the kits are like this, or if mine was somehow defective, but the white paints were a huge pain (especially the white limestone. Literally sounds like water if you shake the can. Overall I'm not mad at the effect it creates. It definitely covered up the tacky stained plastic coating the house came with, and the glitter topcoat is pretty and very easy to apply. I'm just disappointed because I think it would have created a much nicer sponge effect and finish if especially the third paint hadn't been nearly water.

This is a great product! It’s easy to work with. No chipping, color is great and it covers well. Love this product

Expensive for paint but cheaper than having what was a tired looking kitchen torn apart. Completely transformed the look of the kitchen. Very clear instructions provided as well as the tools needed to apply the paint and acrylic.

Amazing experience, good quality. It gives my kitchen a beautiful fresh and modern look.
