Tips for Faux Painting Formica Laminate Counter Tops

by THAT Painter Lady on Wednesday, June 20, 2007

Hi Debra,

I have a Formica bath (half bath) counter that I would like to do a faux finish on.

This bath doesn't get used much.  Can I do this, what products can I use, and is what are the steps in doing the process?
Thanks,
Marianne

Faux Granite Effects Stencil

It's super easy (trust me, I have tested it thoroughly!).

I created this design because it's going to be two years before we can put in our new slab granite counter tops in our vacation home. So I am going to faux finish the existing Formica with this great new stencil! I figured it would be a lot faster if I created a stencil for the granite effect than to hand paint it.

I absolutely cannot wait to use this design on our counter tops in our home in Idaho.
