AMACO Rub n Buff Wax Metallic Finish - Rub n Buff Gold Leaf 15ml Tube - Versatile Gilding Wax for Finishing Furniture Antiquing and Restoration - Rub and Buff Colors Single Tube

Excellent metallic finish. I used it to restore a severely damaged leather book cover and it worked very well.

I have used this wax before, and repurchased. Very easy to use with a very nice finish. You can add as much or as little as you like for the desired effect.

This stuff is so easy to use and worked surprisingly well! I wanted to upgrade my old silver light fixture to gold to match my new decor, and was able to do it SO easily with this. I didn’t even need to sand down the chrome (although that may have helped) or remove the light from the ceiling. I did two coats with the one small bottle provided- a little bit goes a long way so make sure you add scarcely and build if needed! I ended up using a small foam paintbrush which worked very well for application. I also tried a regular small paint brush and rag which both worked okay, but for this type of project found the foam worked best. The color is a nice, bright gold and was very affordable (much cheaper than a new light! haha). I will be trying it out on other things around the house (door hinges, etc). Great value and product!

As expected. Nice color. Dries quickly.

I used this on a pre-painted wooden picture frame and found that the application took some trial and error. It worked best for me when applied with a firm bristle brush in circular motions. Other methods like finger or sponge application didn’t give consistent results. I also learned that letting each layer sit for a while before reapplying helped avoid lifting. It took some patience, but the final result was nice. I’d recommend testing your technique on a small area first before moving on to a larger or more visible piece.

I have used this product multiple times to change the color of thrift store finds. Easy to use and looks great. Price is good and totally changes look of frames and other items quick.

Works well , a little goes a long way

I had high hopes for this, but it just didn't work very well for my frame. It was glossy plastic to start with, and I sanded it well but it still didn't really want to stick (see pic). I had some black chalk paint on hand so I painted the entire frame with that as a primer of sorts and that worked much better for getting the rub n buff to stick. That said, I couldn't get it to look even no matter what I tried. If the frame was embellished or textured I don't think you'd really see it, but on long smooth areas it is definitely noticable (see pic). The matte base seemed to make it look less shiny too after buffing, it almost just looks like gold colored craft paint. Also after using maybe 1/10 of the tube it somehow exfoliated off my fingerprint to the point that I can't unlock my phone lol. I will keep this for smaller crafts, but I wish I would've just used gold leaf on my frame.

The tube is tiny BUT a little goes a long way. Very useful. Very gold Very bright. A general dab smear brush will brighten any object. Great if used as a highlight tool.. great stuff. I bought 4 just in case....

Super,s'applique comme une crème pour le visage(il a la consistance d'un baume) une noisette ou plusieurs ,selon l'ampleur des degâts étalée avec le doigt suffit à redonner une patine à un cadre ou autre objet en plâtre ou en bois doré usé par le temps .Il redonne un coup de jeune à vos trésors anciens. Une petite merveille à avoir sous la main,surtout après un déménagement,où malgré toutes les protections,il y a toujours un peu de "casse".

This stuff is freaking amazing!! I have a very old picture frame and parts of the decorative wood have worn or broken off. I had tried matching the paint colours but to no avail. Then I added on the Rub N Buff and SNAP! The whole frame looks amazing. It covered up the original paint, the trying-to-fix-it paint, and the bare wood. Giving it a good old rub lets some of the old colours show through but it looks like it was supposed to look all along. Great stuff!

parfait! une goutte suffit à redoré la moitié du contour d'un cadre, le rendu est très naturel, idéal pour les objets anciens!

This is an excellent product which I use for touching up picture and mirror frames. Easy to use .. .
