Yes, you can paint kitchen worktops, but it depends on the material and the finish you want. Here's a quick guide:
Laminate: Can be painted, but needs good surface prep.
Wood: Easy to paint and gives good results.
Composite/Resin: Possible, but needs sanding and priming.
Stone (Granite/Quartz): Not recommended — paint won’t adhere well long-term.
Clean thoroughly: Remove grease and dirt.
Sand the surface: To help paint adhere.
Apply primer: Use a bonding primer suitable for the surface.
Paint: Use durable paint (e.g., oil-based or specialist countertop paint).
Seal: Apply a clear topcoat or resin for protection.
Painted worktops won’t be as durable as factory finishes.
Heat, moisture, and cutting can damage paint.
Use trivets and cutting boards to protect the surface.
