Back to work on the transformation of the bathroom counter top this morning. We've let the dark brown Truffle color dry over night.
This is how the counter top looks with just the truffle color over the base coat.
With that completely dry we added a coat of our medium brown color Hazelnut over the entire surface of the counter using a different sponge to get a different pattern then we did with the Truffle.
While the Hazelnut was still slightly wet I added the black or Ink color with a bigger sponge and tapped it on with varying intensity so there were actually little piles of paint in certain areas of the counter.
Here you can see the Ink that I've tapped on basically in ribbon patterns along the top.
I want to use the dark black of the Ink to resemble the veining of natural granite when we're done.
Now with both the Hazelnut and Ink colors still wet we're going to use our lightest color Cashew to add the depth we're looking for in the overall top.
Here's the counter after we've finished adding the Cashew over the other two colors.
Don't forget to bring the color pattern down to the front edge trying to keep the colors consistent with the top pattern.
Remember the bad crack in front of the sink? Thanks to our wood putty it is invisible in the new look.
We're going to let this top dry completely before using artist brushes to add the metallic veins found in real granite. The final step is sealing it with our glossy top coat.
Stay tuned.
