Yes, I have had mine painted for 2 years and no chipping has occurred. I receive constant comments from guests saying they cant believe its painted. They really thought I had granite counter tops.

Yes, the product is designed for adhering to Formica and holds up very well. Follow the instructions for proper prep and application, and once it cures you'll have a nice, durable finish. Wes Mullers Paint 616-891-9171

Yes as long as u put the clear coat on the entire counter. thats what holds in on and prevents chipping. if u don't seal it like that then water and what not could get under and cause damage and have to redo which would b a pain to deal with

When people look at mine they can't obviously tell. However I tell them. If your counters were like mine when i bought the house ( laminate with gauges all screeched up) we replace it with instant granite. I thought this would be a temperary addition till I could afford real granite. Now I see this would be a big expensive error. Wonder if a buyer doesn't like the style or color of real granite? They still have to pay for it cause you had to add to house cost. It's even easer to change a pattern and color if wanted a quick temporary or permeant fix. one couple we experienced, was a couple that had real granite and the one of them said they hated the granite they put in and would have been better off, to put this on and change the style/color and how stupid they felt that it cost thousands instead of 100's of dollars and could change it many times and still not reach the cost of the what they put in.Good Luck with decision.

I should think so. You need to put everything together, so you could not use the countertop that comes with. Formica is not so healvy, but quartz is, so I don't know if a stone countertop might be ot be too heavy a load over a long time. This particular piece has no back. We used some kind of board on the back as we wanted to close the space. We have probably 15 pieces of this collection and it has worked very well for us. We use it for storage.

I would guess it depends what shape your countertop is in to start with. The better it is, the more shine it would leave. I use it once a month on my countertop to repel stains and water marks while providing lustre. I was all set to get a new countertop until I tried this product. It works for me, and if you try it, I hope it works equally for you.

The product I used was only for laminate counter top, but I think this company makes the same type of product for solid surfaces such as corian. I would certainly try it. I love what it has done for my laminate counter tops.

Marble is a very porous rock. this top is sealed but not all seals work the best. since it is white it would most likely show stains if you leave something long on the top of it. I recommend getting a marble cleaner product for this countertop and sealing it in a durable sealer from a hardware store.

Yes it does, I used it to cover my daughter's apt Formica countertops. It looks great and very easy to apply. It's like wallpaper for countertops. It also looks like granite.

Hi; No , after a year or so , our counter top has held up great , including the clear coat. Sorry you are having problems.

I agree with everything JenO stated. This product may activate the paint and smear it like thinner. I would only use it on raw wood. By far the best finish for counter tops.

Yes, I have done it many times. Just be careful not to remove too much of the original finish once it has melted with the Formby's. After you have evened it out, I suggest using the Formby's Tung Oil, really puts on a nice finish. Use multiple thin coats.

I would recommend changing between stages. The pads will get contaminated with the other products. I would finish my surface with the lightest pad for the best finish and no swirl marks.

i think it will look fine but if you scrape your counter top often and it is in fact a high traffic area i would use their counter top transformation which is pricey but great and very durable or their counter top finishes in a can. i repainted an old frig with stainless steel paint which looked great, and a counter of a small unit but i have a cutting surface on part of it which is where hot pots etc go. it is great stuff but work fast and make confident roller or brush passes not tentative ones. it is beautiful.

A couple things: 1. On our Formica top I press down on each leg. 2. Put a tiny bit of water on the suction cups which will help keep a seal. I think the smoother the counter top material, the better the seal.

Hi, the bottle says "great to use on all of the following laminates and countertop materials. Formica, Corian, Swanstone, Wilsonart, Gibraltar, Avonite, Nevamar, Surell, Pionite and Fountainhead by Nevamar", hope this helps

Patch it first, sand it and it should work just fine. I had knife cuts and dings in the old laminate and I patched and sanded them and it turned out great! I did this on the kitchen counters in my rental house about 9 years ago and it has held up through all the renters just fine. If the formula has not changed and you follow the instructions and do the work properly it will provide you with years of use and it looks great!

I use it on my Corian countertops and it does put a shine on it plus it makes it easier to keep clean. If it has been a while since I did I might put two coats on but be careful because it makes the countertop slippery even with just one coat. If you have a soapstone countertop I'd recommend mineral oil to bring out the luster but if your countertop is some type of plastic then the Hope countertop polish will work. Hope this helps.

I'm not quite certain. I work at a Day Care center and we stuck it on formica countertops (corners). We used this product about 6 years ago and it is still stuck on like day one. That is why we purchased it again recently...it works. I'm comfortable with it on formica as I could scrape it off and use Goo Gone for the residue, not so sure about wood furniture.
