...You need to work slowly so you don't get air bubbles. Follow the directions on the can and let dry the entire recommended time. 9. Now it's time to spray the counters with the stone paint you purchased. Rustoleum is what I recommended but of course there are other great products on the market. You've already chosen your color so now it's time to apply. When you spray it you will notice it has a bit of a pebble effect. This is what provides the stone effect. 10. Apply the first coat and let dry. You will need at least 3 of the 4 cans you purchased, perhaps all 4. Keep one for a spare for touchups later on. 11. Apply your second coat making sure that you get any spots that were missed with the first coat. Let dry. 12. Apply the third coat and a fourth coat if necessary. The more coats the thicker the application will look. 13. Once your paint is completely dry - 24 hours preferably - then it is time to apply the polyurethane. Use your foam roller and go slow so it doesn't bubble on you. 14. Apply as many coats as you like until the preferred look is achieved. Between each coat be sure to let it dry thoroughly. That's it. Suddenly your kitchen looks like it has had a complete facelift. Now remember your countertops need the same consideration as any new counters. Make sure you don't cut directly on the top as it will cut and scratch. Don't sit your hot pots or pans directly on the counter, use a trivet. Clean it regularly and feel free to reapply the polyurethane at any time to keep it looking fresh. It's truly an amazing transformation turning your Formica countertops to stone. Your countertop that is in your kitchen or bathroom can totally change the look of the room. You can turn the style around in the room just by changing this one element, and have a room that looks totally different.
