Not a happy ending
I wanted to love this product, and in some respects I do; however, I am pricing new countertops as I type. I applied this product about 7 months ago and frankly, I wish I would have just left my old ones alone. I love the 'painting' part of it and they looked absolutely fabulous, until I had all the nightmares of the clear coat. The streaks and the lines were terrible. I contacted the company (which stands behind their product VERY Well) and they sent me 3 cans of their new forumla of topcoat that should 'lay down' better. I applied the new topcoat they sent and it looked better than before with a few streaks you could see in the reflection. As time went on, it became a nightmare behind my sink as my boys didn't always wipe the water from behind and the poly started to peel off and get mushy. Got a large scratch in them and a large chunk chipped out where I use the counter a lot. Tried to refinish with light sandpaper, more paint, and topcoat and it looks terrible again with streaks. The concept is great...the colors and painting are beautiful...the company stands behind their product well...but the topcoat is a nightmare and it just didn't work out for me. As much as I would like to recommend this product, I cannot. The topcoat is a nightmare.
