I mean yikes! I'm not sure who thought this all was a good idea.. After realizing we can't afford new countertops right now I started doing some research and convinced my his and to le me try a DIY faux granite paint job. I mean it couldn't get much worse, right? So for around $50 I have beautiful faux granite counters- which look so much better! This is all you need:
And a box or two of eviortec lite to finish it off. I picked 7 ayryloc paint colors and one super fine glitter - all of these items are available at Michaels, use the coupon on the eviortec! First I primed it. 
It took 3 coats of primer - did you see how bright it was? I already thought it looked better! Then I started sponging on colors from dark to light. It's going to get uglier before it gets prettier so bear with it! 
It took a few hours. I would wait for the paint to dry before adding other colors. I ended up going back and adding more farm brown and redish. I sprinkled the glitter after the second coat of paint and again on the second to last coat of paint I love the shimmer and it really mimics real granite. I covered the vanity with painters tape and wax paper prior to applying the envirotec. I wasn't too worried about getting paint anywhere because I am going to be taking down the wallpaper and painting the vanity very soon. All in all I'm happy with this project but here are some things I would do differently next time: I would sponge on more dark coots to start with. I would remove all of the painters tape prior to using envirotec and I would get a blowtorch. The box says you can remove bubbles that occur by just breathing on them, I didn't find that to be the case but for a temporary solution I love it! Stayed tuned for the rest of the bathroom makeover!
