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

I bought the European Gold, and it’s a bit more bronze for my taste, but the final product still looks nice! I repurposed a gold lid jar a college roommate gave me (super cheap gold paint) and loved the jar but wanted it to look classed-up. The rub & buff is very easy to use, a little goes a long way. It dries VERY FAST and starts to chunk together if applying more on a partially dry piece, so I was really worried it wouldn’t look good. I think the final piece ended great, no weird smudges or anything. Easy to wash off residue from hands, and it’s such a quick project to have decorations match. I will be refinishing another piece for the same room since I know it works!

Was looking for a bright gold to brighten up an existing gold fillet. This product did not disappoint. Received in a timely manner.

I have used rub and buff for years. It’s easy to use and helps make necessary color change to many items.

My wife and I bought the AMACO Rub n Buff Wax Metallic Finish to transform a white, ornate mirror frame into a classic European gold color frame and superb results followed! To get that impeccable, vintage look, I first painted the frame matte black, giving the gold wax a richer base (after reading up on others experiences with using this product) Then we applied the wax to the frame in a slightly uneven way to achieve a subtle antique effect, and the result was just what we were hoping for.The wax was surprisingly easy to apply, and is a very satisfying process! Though the little tube might seem pricey at first, the coverage and quality are absolutely worth it. A little goes a long way, and the end product looks like something straight out of an antique shop. Some might ask, "Why not spray paint?" and to that I would reply that it is more difficult to achieve a delicate antique look with it, and might be less forgiving. That said, this is the perfect product for anyone looking to give their tired old decor a high-end, vintage makeover!

Refinishing a nutcracker

Used the soft European metallic finish for the frame I built for my TV. I love the look and it was easy to rub & buff onto the finished/primed wood however I had just barely enough to finish the project. I understand the other reviews about value for money but truth be told I liked the color a lot so willing to overlook!

Gold polish worked really well on my old hardware. I am currently stripping 1930 original hardware that has been painted over and neglected- so far very happy with the results.

Easy to use, dresses up literally anything. Easy on the application. A little goes a loooong way!
