How to Refinish a Kitchen Countertop to Remodel

Everyone loves a new kitchen, especially a new kitchen countertop. Remodeling the kitchen countertop does not need to be an expensive project. Giving the countertop a face lift and new look is easy to do with a little time and effort.

Items Needed

• Soap


• Rubbing Alcohol


• Tape


• Sandpaper


• Paint Roller


• Paint Primer


• Rag


• Acrylic Paint

1. Using soap and water wash the kitchen counter and wait for it to dry.


2. Using rubbing alcohol wipe the counter down to remove any residues.


3. Take the tape and tape off the fixtures around the kitchen counter top.


4. Use the sandpaper and sand the counter top. Doing this allows the paint to stick to the surface.


5. Take a paint roller and paint primer and roll one coat on the countertop. Wait for it to dry and use the sandpaper to sand the counter again.


6. Repeat step 5 again.


7. Take the rag and remove any dust from the countertop.


8. Using the acrylic paint, paint the kitchen countertop and let it dry. Sand with sandpaper again.


9. Add a second coat of the acrylic paint on the countertop and let it dry. When it is dry, the kitchen countertop has been remodeled and ready to use.

Tips

• When painting the primer and acrylic paint, open up the windows in the kitchen to allow fresh air to flow through the home. If the smell gets too much for you, leave the kitchen at times to give yourself a break from the smell.
