Giani Granite Countertop Paint Review & Giveaway

My kitchen is hideous. Yes, it is. The countertops and back-splash are white and stained, the cabinet doors are spray painted black, and the kitchen itself is a really dull yellow. The kitchen was like this when we bought the house. My family cannot afford to do a full remodel our kitchen, so we decided to give it a makeover.






Giani granite countertop paint is a wallet-friendly way to re-do your countertops and back-splashes. When they contacted me to do a review, I was thrilled. We chose the Bombay Black color and painted our countertop and back-splash in our kitchen.

How does the product work?
Before starting you will need to:
*clean your countertops (about 3 times) with a degreaser.
*tape off the edges (painter tape is recommended)

Step 1: Apply a thin coat of the primer to the entire area and allow to dry for a minimum of four hours (we let it dry overnight)

Step 2: Cut your sponge and begin sponging on the colors in two feet sections. All of the products are labeled which makes the project go very smooth. You will sponge on three colors, one at a time. Continue this process until you receive your desired look.

Step 3: Apply the sealer. We applied two coats of the sealer (you can do a maximum of three coats).

Giani Granite offers countertop painting kits in a wide variety of colors:
*Sicilian Sand
*Chocolate Brown
*Bombay Black
*Roma Red
*Sapphire Blue
*Emerald Green






We thought the Giani granite paint worked great, we didn't have any issues with the application process. I have had it on my countertops for a month now and have not had any problems whatsoever. Next, we will be painting our cabinets and cabinet doors. Then we will paint the kitchen! I love the new countertops and have received compliments from everyone who comes over.
