Giani granite countertop paint Review & Giveaway

I have a total new bathroom, well almost. The bath tub area is new but, my cabinet and counter top are the same with a twist. GIANI helped me transform my bathroom countertop  from the burgundy to the black & chocolate granite look I always wanted. GIANI saves money from costly replacements. It does take a little time to apply and with small nosey children & waiting on the drying time. Most importantly it was easy to do. Let me stress how easy:)

I was kind of nervous about this project, after I watched the video in my kit I was ready to go. Cuddos for the video to be included, it really showed me how easy this project was to complete. First I taped everything up and added the Primer-Base Coat. I waited the time for it to dry. I added each color of the minerals with the sponge starting with the lightest first. I realized I skip the dark brown, no problem I dipped the sponge and added on top. It blended in great and I love the out come. Happy with the look I wanted. I waited overnight for it to dry and added the durable automotive grade clear polyurethane topcoat.

GIANI granite countertop paint for countertops exceeded my expectations for my bathroom repair. My husband would walk though and look like she's destroying the bathroom I'm fixing. He came home to find it looking great after the sponge application and loved it too. Can't wait to show my family & friends. Note: Keep your Countertops looking great by not using chemicals-nail polish remover etc. GIANI also sells their very owner cleaner.
