    I can't see it lasting. Need to make sure the surfaces are clean, dry and free of grease before you start.

    I would not consider painting the worktops, they will scratch. Paint is not hard wearing enough.

    So why are they selling them as such, if not lasting long etc?

    And to Lirin, type of paint used, had to prime, other tips?

    I would definitely not use paint on a kitchen worktop. I cannot see it lasting. You have heat, water, soap, grease, things being lifted and laid. It will chip or get scratched and every time you wipe it some water gets below and so on. If you are willing to buy they will sell. Do they give a guarantee for how long it will last?
