Wow! That's amazing! How did u do this? And, how did u make it so the paint stays and doesn't come off when u bang them or the kids cut on them? This is seriously inspiring!

It's called Giani Granite Paint. It is about 70 dollars. The kit comes with everything that you need and a video on how to do it. You put the primer down and then sponge on the 3 different colors paints. I think there were 6 color choices to choose from. Here is the website.

We just did it a couple days ago so I am not sure how long it will hold up. I read reviews from other people that did it and they said it has held up for a long time.

My neighbor did theirs and it has been a couple months and it still looks awesome.

Did you do the chocolate or what color? I wonder if Lowes or Home Depot carries paint kits like that.
