Dark Gray, Rust-Oleum HOME Countertop Satin Coating Kit-38496307T, Quart

This was a much easier process than I had anticipated. My laminate counter top was so outdated and this has really brought new life into my kitchen. They advise to do a test area of 3x3" and allow it 12 hours to cure. Mine adhered well, but to play it safe, I did do a light hand sand with 70 grit paper, you could use a hand sander if you have one (and adequate ventilation). From there cleaned off the dust and sprayed it down with Krud Kutter degreaser and another go with mineral spirits and a microfiber rag just to be sure that I start with a super clean surface. Once I started painting it went really quickly. Because I did a near white gray, I did use 2 coats, waiting 2 hours in between. From there, you wait 4 hours to do the satin coat. I again waited 2 hours and did a second coat. I opted to let cure 6 days (min is 3, 7 is ideal). Keep in mind this is satin, so if you're looking for a shiny top, you will not be happy with this result as the sheen is minimal, its more eggshell. Also, mine did come through a bit textured, not super smooth, so perhaps I could have sanded more, but I actually really like it that way so I do not mind.
