I would like to refurbish a faux granite table and do it DIY. (note: not sure if its called faux granite. its actually 1 inch thick wood which has some kind of granite pattern stickered on it and has a 2 mm thick plastic ? epoxy? lamination on top) It has some parts of its top coating that has been cracked and peeled off.

I have covered the cracked and peeled off portions with 2 part pioneer epoxy and have used sand paper to make it even with the surface. How can I best conceal it? I initially thought of just painting it over with epoxy and then getting a custom cut glass to put over it (like the usual dining tables) but the shape is not rectangular, but P like.

Can I paint it over with some color and resin? What do you recommend? I am tempted to do a short cut and just cut to shape a linoleum on it.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Repairing an epoxy painted table top

Thanks Lncc! Will read through that. Here are pics of the prospective project.



I would like to match the cabinet design. This is also a DIY, team effort with the wife. We copied the design on the tiles and made a bigger version on the cabinet. Happy with the results. I always get the kicks out of DIYs that work.
