Has anyone ever painted their existing countertops? If so, is there a certain kind of paint that needs to be used? Thanks!

Thanks!
If you do it, post before and after pics. I'm a little intimidated by it.

I've used the Rustoleum Countertop Paint that is sold at Lowes. Couple observations:
- The only place you can find the color samples is on the box. They are pretty small hard to pick. Be prepared to change colors if you don't like your first choice.
-It is relatively cheap. Somewhere around $25 for the paint. You need little foam rollers and a certain paint thinner to remove any overruns.
-It takes a few days to dry. This is especially important to know if you have cats that like to jump on the counters.
-It comes out pretty nice, considering it is just a paint. I get chips from time to time but I don't see why they couldn't be touched up.
Overall, I am very pleased. It is a ton cheaper than replacing countertops so if you try it and don't like it, you won't be out a lot of money.

Sorry, didn't realize it was a personal forum.
