I'd love to upgrade the mottled green to a sleek black or grey, and now I know it's cheap and doable :) thanks for sharing! www.thetubeworks.com.auAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03816993857361727328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344930889201531957.post-71454811052788735592015-03-21T09:15:38.445-05:002015-03-21T09:15:38.445-05:00Just WONDERFUL!

I'm thinking about using the canvas color but wondered what I actually looked like, someone one from another site said they placed a Pizza Hut pizza on it & it messed it up....said that heat detriys it.

Moreover, my husband and I were JUST TALKING two hours ago about our awful apartment kitchen. The landlord mentioned we could paint the laminate cabinets (which are hideous) and I was lamenting how silly it would be to help the cabinets and have to deal with the disgusting countertops. Ours are really cut up by the last renters, so I don't think this would work miracles, but hopefully it would fill in the cuts a bit. I bet if I went over it twice it would look pretty decent. Do you have a product your recommend for painting over laminate cabinets? I wonder if this stuff would work well on that, too!Jessica May Lordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15044886744244191587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344930889201531957.post-15005577638528495932011-03-01T22:24:39.890-06:002011-03-01T22:24:39.890-06:00They are still holding up really well.

They have a few little scrapes on them but they were all avoidable had I gotten out a cutting board rather than cutting straight on the countertops.<br /><br />Michelle- Yes!

Everyone talks about being green and I have such a hard time throwing away something that is perfectly good but I have outgrown the color. I am fortunate mine are a light grey, very neutral but I want to paint my cabinets white and the grey is not enough contrast for me. I may just have to try this product. I'm so glad to hear that is has worked for you!
