Giani White Marble Epoxy Countertop Small Project Kit

Here’s a polished version of your review that keeps your authentic voice while making it clear and helpful for others: I really like this countertop painting kit! It was fairly easy to use, and the final result is absolutely gorgeous. The gray veining looks very realistic, and I was especially happy with how mine turned out. The kit comes with most of what you need, which is super convenient. That said, I’d recommend having a few extra supplies on hand: a razor blade to remove caulk, a Brillo pad (or something similar) for cleaning, and some mineral spirits for the epoxy application and cleanup. The epoxy step was a little tricky—especially when it came to drips on the edges—but manageable with some patience. One technique that worked really well for me was using a water bottle to spray and blend the veining. I used the water to blend edges more than the brush. It helped create a smooth, natural look. All in all, I’m very happy with the outcome and would definitely recommend this kit if you’re looking to refresh your countertops on a budget.

I love this countertop upgrade. I have used two of them now and it’s so easy to apply and use and looks fantastic. Highly recommend if you want a cheaper upgrade to uplevel the look of your home. Ignore the floor in the photo, we hadn’t done the tile just yet.

We purchased an older home that had the original countertops from 1967! We didn’t have the energy to do a kitchen renovation, so I decided to give this a try. I figured the worst that could happen was I’d still have ugly countertops. I actually was really impressed with the product. I was nervous doing it and I encourage everyone to practice on the practice square they send. Overall it was pretty easy. My son came to visit and my husband asked him how much he thought we paid for our new countertops. My son said 14k. I laughed and said $169. He couldn’t tell they weren’t quartz until i told him and he got closer. I’m really pleased with how they turned out. The quality is great. The only warning is to be careful of placing scratchy items on it.

I did the research on this kit and watched hours of video and read at least 50 reviews. More interested in the negative ones, I found that most of the negative were probably more about skill levels. I decided I will purchase the mini kit for my bathroom. First, the kit came nicely pack. It included documentation with step by step instructions and pro tips which helped out a lot. I began by removing the faucets and drains then sanded sand the entire sink and countertop down. This is probably the most important step because you want a nice clean surface the product can bond to. I did about 4 coats of the included primer and let dry 30 minutes between coats for perfectly primed surfaces. Next, I took my time and spent about an hour painting on my veins making sure to be as detailed as I can be. I found that doing small portions at a time worked well as to avoid your initial lines from drying. Use the included spray bottle to thin out your veins and the brush to dab and move some of the paint away from the vein. You don’t want any hard line veins because they do look like paint stokes if you do. Just take your time. If you don’t like what you have just paint over it with the primer and try again. As for prepping and applying the epoxy, make sure you mix it for at least 3.5 minutes. It really goes on effortlessly. Pour it on the countertop in 3 lines. Take the provided brush and coat your backsplash in 2 or three strokes. Use the foam roller and spread it out. Push any excess over the edge of your countertop on to your plastic tarp provided. If you have a bowl sink, push it into the bowl and it will drain into hole. Take the provided foam brush and spread it around the bowl until completely covered. This epoxy is self leveling so it smoothers itself out. They want you to complete this process in 30 minutes. I chose to time myself and have it done in 15. This SEO was super easy. I found that the most work was prepping and sanding. Most tedious step was creating the veins. If you’re a creative person this kit is for you. It doesn’t take too much skill to apply this kit but it helps a lot. Good luck!

This turned out soo good only thing I would do differently is when doing veins I would have done a little at a time as it drys quick and blurred it a bit more

Amazing product and sooo easy to use. **Make sure to watch the video from the Giani website, she fires a great job showing how you do each step** These are the before and after pictures. Since my original laminate countertop was so dark, I did 3 coats of primer. I absolutely love it!!!

Do NOT BUY!!! EPOXY NEVER CURED!!! I followed directions to the T. I was SO EXCITED when it was all done it looked great. Now I have a horrible mess that I have no idea how I am going to clean up.. after 10 days I went to use it and it was bubbling and tacky like the epoxy didn't or never cured.

We decided to try this kit to update a small countertop. Overall, the product itself is interesting: the "white marble" color looks very beautiful, giving it the feel of real stone. The kit is easy to understand, with everything you need for working inside. However, applying the final layer of resin presented some difficulties. The resin didn't spread evenly, and the resulting surface wasn't as smooth as expected. Perhaps some practice is needed to achieve the perfect result. Otherwise, the material is high-quality, durable, and a viable option for a budget-friendly surface update. However, first-timers should be prepared for the fact that the result may differ from the image.
