BTW How did the coating stand up to oil and even oily finger prints? was it easy to clean and leave a streak free appearance? I like the look of leather finish granite but it can be a bitch to clean, well not clean but to leave it with a uniform surface.
I like the idea of the sandblasting just wonder about how effective the coating is on it and also the upkeep seeing as it's a surface that by it's very nature gets cleaned alot and harsh chemicals can strip the coating. I know you can maintain them and even re-apply but there is a cost involved. But hey if you want nice things they need looking after.
It's certainly something i'd think about spec'ing but wonder at the downsides involved.
