To Paint Faux Painted Stainless Steel Kitchen Counter Tops You Will Need:

Primer

Sand Paper

Interior Grey Paint

Metallic Silver Glaze

Polyurethane (oil base)

Paint trays

Painter's Tape

Paint brushes

Paint Rollers

The first step you are going to have to do is sand your laminate counter tops with some sand paper. Wipe the excess dust away with a damp clothe.

Now, let this dry. Paint on your primer. Use a gray tinted primer if possible.

I recommend doing this with a foam roller. You will want to tape off any edges with painter's tape as well.

Now, let the primer dry.

Now, when applying any type of stainless steel or silver glaze to a kitchen counter top is to choose the right base coat of interior latex paint.

This is the most important part of the entire Faux Painted Stainless Steel Kitchen Counter Tops remodel project. If you choose to ignore the next bit of advise, I can almost grantee you your silver stainless steel finish on the kitchen counter tops will look tacky, fake, and even streaky.
