We have done it a few times. The greatest breakage chance is around the electrical plug locations. Care needs to be taken that the voids are filled and that the metal is kept from making contact wit the glass. A little care here makes using the plugs safer and adds less stress on the glass. Not all paints are equal. Make sure you check the references of the installer. this look can go horribly wrong if a newbie is in charge of the painting.

Do you have any photos or more info on your kitchen so we can help you?

thank you very much to everyone who responded! I'll look into espresso and charcoal grays. As well as the steel backplash. Emmarenes, I'm living abroad in India, and the only granites in my budget are the local ones. I was advised against the gray and white local ones because i was told that they would not hold up well in the kitchen. I could have gone with a black galaxy as well but i have that granite now and despise it because of the way it hides ants and bugs so well. we live in a tropical area and there are always critters here and there. My first choice was a Brazilian white granite but it was triple the price. This granite is called Shiva pink, so it has a pink salmon and gray look to it. Im really hoping I don't hate it once it's installed. The stoneyard was a 9 hour trip up and down and i was just pressured to make a choice after several undecided trips. And I'm getting new cabinets put in. but I think I can wait for them to put the slab before staining the wood. Thanks for that idea :)
