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

So easy and looks amazing! Def recommend. I was initially intimidated, but once I got going, it came out wonderfully.

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

We have some old white formica countertops in a ski condo that we were thinking of replacing. Since it is a galley kitchen we weren't too keen on spending big bucks to replace the countertops. This was one of the few DIY projects I have ever done that was easier than I expected (I have a general rule that things take 20% longer than expected which works well). This was a piece of cake. Instructions are idiot-proof. The only thing I did differently than the instructions (kind of by mistake) was blending the grey marbling lines by "dry-brushing" them afterwards with just a touch of paint on the tip of the brush. Fewer is more on the gray marbling lines to make it look authentic. The blending part is key to making the "line" look real; just play around with it. *Google some photos of patterns you like. You can always just paint the lines over and redo them til your happy. I would recommend this product.

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!!!!

I'm having issues with it already having nicks and I've had two things get stuck to it and leave residue behind (rubber can opener grip and 12 pack of Dr.P). Looked great the fist week. Kind of wish I hadn't done it because I don't see it lasting a year.

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!

Since buying new countertops is out of the budget till next year we went with this kit. Easy to use, dry time was rather quick. I wish I had made the veins thinner and sponged more white to create more depth but overall not bad for a first attempt. We also did 3 coats of the top coat to help with durability.

The Rust-Oleum Marble Countertop Paint Kit is a great concept and gives your counters a fresh, updated look without the cost of replacing them. The end result actually looked really good — the marble effect is convincing, and the finish has a nice professional feel.However, I found that coverage was not as strong as advertised. I was working with a standard-sized countertop and still had to purchase a second kit to get full, even coverage. It’s definitely not a one-box solution for most surfaces, despite what the packaging suggests.Also, after about 7 months of normal use, I’ve started to notice bubbling in the clear coat around the sink area, especially where it tends to get wet more often. While the rest of the counter still looks great, this raises concerns about long-term durability in moisture-prone areas.Overall, it’s a solid product if you’re looking for a budget-friendly makeover, but be prepared to buy more than one kit and keep an eye on how it holds up near sinks or high-use spots. With a little extra effort and care, it can still be a worthwhile DIY upgrade.
