Rust-Oleum 384964 Home Marble Countertop Coating Kit, 72 fl oz, White

Really pretty and easy to use! Though I had to put 5 coats on, (we have dark countertops), it turned out really pretty. I recommend for the marble design to lay down a line of grey, then use a wide brush blending back and forth to soften the edges, before stippling and going in with details. If you get it on appliances, you can use steel wool to buff it off.

Great product

I bought this product to try on an old bar cart I picked up on marketplace. It was in rough condition— dirty, yellowed, and stained. I was able to clean up the wood, but the faux marble top stained beyond redemption. I didn’t want to spend a fortune for such a small project, so this kit fit the bill. The instructions were clear, and a few videos online helped with learning the marbling technique. Looking at real marble really helps to learn how the lines usually run and how there are usually subtle darker areas. Use an artist brush to lay out lines in very small sections at a time, keep a spray bottle on hand to mist the lines, and stipple/lightly brush to feather the lines and blend them. I took my time going over the surface the first time blending the lines pretty well, and then I did another pass darkening a few lines to add depth. The top coat was easy to apply and dried quickly. My only complaint about the look of the top coat is that even using the recommended roller the finish has a bumpy “orange peel” look instead of a smooth surface like real stone or even polyurethane. I can’t speak to the durability because it hasn’t been long enough, and this little project will never get the rough use of a kitchen or bathroom countertop. (But I’ll update my review if durability becomes an issue.) As for ease of application, I’d say it’s a good product. I only wish the finish was smooth

The look of this turned out exactly the way I hoped. However, I’m unsure about the durability. After following all the steps exactly to a tee, several spots completely peeled the paint off when I was rolling on the top coat and accidentally hit the counter with the metal part of the roller. I’m hoping it’s just because it hasn’t had the full 7 days to cure, so we will see how it lasts. As for the look, it turned out great. The key is to dabble the gray paint in a line with a large paint brush (one you would use to paint walls or baseboards) then spray enough water to where the mineral paint spreads on its own. Then go back in with a paintbrush and napkin to clean it up. Only giving 4 stars because of how easily the white coat peeled away after slightly hitting it with the roller. The base coat was drying for 36 hrs at that point and I don’t think it should’ve peeled away that easily. However, the look of this product is exactly what I wanted! UPDATE: I 10000% REGRET USING THIS KIT!!!! I feel like if I just breathe wrong, the countertops chip. There are literally hundreds of chips and scratches allllllll over the counters after just a couple weeks of light use. I’m so upset!!!!

we used the rustoleum marble countertop kit. we knew it would be a challenge and thought well, we'll try it anyways... after carefully reading the directions and following the directions though, we were at first, not happy at all. we figured you had to be a real artist to pull it off. so, I began to paint over the dark gray veining paint... I started at one end of the counter and painted over every line, knowing it would take several coats to cover our 'marbling'... and when I finished covering every line and turned and looked: IT WAS LIKE MAGIC! the thin coat of step one, white paint, faded the lines just enough to make them look authentic!! why don't the directions tell us to do that? omg, anyways, we love it and you can't beat the price! thank you, rustoleum!

Easy step by step process. Helped update an old bathroom at a low cost. We will use again for the other bathrooms. They only negative I thought it would give more of a glossy look.

This product was not as expected... first of all the color for the veins was very thick and after using the mist bottle it hardly diffused the color leaving thick lines. The veins are very hard to put on and after that sing the mist the white color bubbled, so we had to do it over again. After we re- did the process and we opened the satin top coat can there was a thick film of the satin top coat on top and even after stirring it left clumps everywhere. I'm not sure if the product I received was old but it ruined all the hard work done! No hapyy with the results ☹️

This works beautifully. Our kitchen countertop was very old and was completely refreshed with this product! It gave us a very nice kitchen upgrade. My suggestions would be take your time and may want to design the marbling on paper first. But we are very happy with our new countertop! It looks so clean and so far has been very durable! Worth it!

Great buy,

It goes yellow over time. The top coat not hard enough I drop a saucepan lid on it and put a nick in bench. Paint is good .

The base coat worked amazing but the top coat was hard and unusable. I had already applied the base coats and veining but was unable to apply the top coat rendering my countertop unusable at the moment.

Followed all the steps and it still failed to stick to benchtop despite leaving it for 7 days and using multiple coats. Would not recommend
