Apply Black Base Coat

What happens here

Pour black paint directly onto the countertop surface in a line or pattern. Using a trowel, spread the black paint evenly across the entire surface of the countertop. Ensure full coverage, as this black layer will serve as a foundational color that appears through the final epoxy layers, especially if the subsequent colored epoxy doesn't completely cover the surface. This is referred to as the 'reveal color' if the top layers don't cover it fully.

Goal: Create a uniform black base layer on the countertops.
