My favorite nicest looking products to use for marbling a countertop are the Stone Coat Epoxy Kit mixed with spray paint and marbling spray and when you're done coat with an epoxy coating. Here is the list of items needed to get you started and a quick guide of how to epoxy your countertops:
Prep: move appliances, mask off floors and cabinets and above countertop use 3 mil plastic,
Tools needed:
Sawzall and multi cutting tool,
orbital sander,
laser measure,
paint roller,
heat gun,
paint stick,
shop vac,
backer rod,
Bondo,
1/8 x 1/8 slotted trowel,
plastic putty knife,
butcher paper,
TSP,
sandpaper both 60 grit and 220 grit to remove high points and to create a bond,
chop paintbrush,
isopropyl alcohol to dust and clean before each step after sanding
and see the products I recommend below
Prime: roll-on thin coat of recommended primer, use masking tape on the paint roller to remove roller fibers before you start
Color: use 2 coats of undercoat, dry sand with 220 grit, remove dust with alcohol, mix 1 to 1, separate into smaller buckets, spray in or mix in spray paint in layers you can put a big dollop and spread product and then after add thin lines to look like veining
Clear Coat- and go over with heat gun (3 times) and add your epoxy coating.
