My friend just did this as well and she used Rust-Oleum Counter top transformation kits and it turned out awesome.

1. scrub counters with SOS pad and rinse a couple of times
2. tape off all areas that you don’t want paint on( I also put plastic bags over my drawers just to be safe)
3. roll on primer and let set 8 hrs (works great to do it before bed)
4. use sponge to apply first color then repeat with second then third ( I forgot to take pics of each layer) and let dry at least 4 hrs
5. use 600 grit sand paper to smooth surface
6. roll on first layer of clear coat and let dry at least 4 hours
7. repeat second clear coat and let dry 24hrs before touching
they say let dry 3 days before gently using counters and about a week before setting things on counters. It does take 2 weeks to fully cure.
