How to repair benchtop covered in Rustoleum black galaxy?

I used the rust oleum galaxy black benchtop kit in my kitchen about 5 years ago. It's been great but over time in high use areas on the edge of the bench it's worn off, as well as some coin sized damage in areas where it's scratched off. Is there anything I can patch it with that is close to the colour/sparkle? I don't want to redo it all at the moment. 

I know you can get the rust oleum spray but not sure that is the same?

Re: rustoleum black galaxy benchtop patch repair

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @rtthompson. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about benchtop paint.

Unfortunately, there isn’t a direct patch product in the same Galaxy Black finish with the sparkle effect. The closest option we carry would be the plain black Rust-Oleum spray paint. However, I am quite concerned that adding spray paint over the current coating could compromise it. The solvents in the spray could dissolve the current coating, so it would be best to consider re-painting the benchtop with a compatible product rather than touching up.

 

You might also consider replacing the benchtop altogether, as quite a few budget-friendly options are available.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
