Hello @KieranHarbinson
The Dulux Renovation range is the only paint system I know that has a dedicated benchtop paint. This paint system has been designed to be used on benchtops and will provide a superior finish. You'll need to use both the primer and Dulux Renovation clear coat when painting benchtops.
A laminate benchtop is made from multiple layers of paper or fabric bonded together with resins and heat, then applied to a core material like MDF or particleboard. The top layer is decorative and protected by a hard, clear coating. A vinyl benchtop typically involves a self-adhesive, flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film (essentially a thick sticker) that is applied to an existing benchtop.
The vinyl surface is generally not as strong or durable as a purpose-built laminate benchtop surface. It is more susceptible to cuts, scratches, and heat damage, and may not handle very high temperatures well.
My best advice is to wait until you have the resources to use the complete system. Cost cutting by not using the full set will result in early deterioration of the surface, poor adhesion and damage to the topcoat is more likely to occur.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
