Granite Painting
Faux granite painting provides the appearance of a complex and intricate real granite effect. In only a few layers of faux paint you will achieve the lovely granite look. Again, be sure to check out the accompanying video in the resource box to see how easy it really is to accomplish this look using this method.
A great feature of faux granite paint is that it comes in a variety of colors. This is great because there is no need to choose a color based on the actual granite that is being painted. For example, a white marble countertop may not match well with a red granite countertop.
Another great advantage to this type of paint is that it allows you to blend the actual granite with other materials. For example, if you are using the faux paint to blend a granite countertop with a stainless steel countertop, you would have a more elegant look with a white granite top with a black stainless steel base. Or if you were using the faux granite paint to blend the countertop with tile flooring, you could choose a faux marble floor with a white or cream tile top.
The biggest drawback to this method of painting is that it does not resemble the exact look that you would get from a true granite surface. Also, if you use a real granite top, it would take several coats of paint to make the look that you are looking for.
Finally, when using the faux granite paint, there are a number of things that you need to be aware of before you start painting your granite countertop. First, it is important to read the directions carefully, even if you are a do-it-yourselfer. As with any painting project, there is a lot that can go wrong if you are not familiar with the materials that you are working with.
Lastly, as with any type of painting, it is essential that you use the correct supplies for the granite that you are painting. If you use the wrong products, you may find that your granite will be less than perfect after the project is complete. This is why it is very important to learn all of the necessary information before getting started.
Painting your granite countertop will add elegance and class to any kitchen that you are going to be serving in. You will not only enjoy the beauty of this beautiful material, but you will also be able to enjoy the overall design of your kitchen.
Granite is a beautiful material that provides durability and a unique appeal for any type of kitchen. However, when it comes to using granite as a countertop, it is also important to know exactly how to handle the material. With granite painting, you will never have to worry about having a poorly executed project again.
