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 purchased this Rub 'n Buff to add gold accents to a few home décor projects, and I was really impressed with the results. A little goes a very long way, so even the small tube lasted through multiple projects. The European Gold color has a rich, metallic finish that looks much more expensive than it is. It's easy to apply with a finger, cloth, or small brush, and it buffs out beautifully once dry. I used it to update hardware and add detail to decorative pieces, and it completely transformed the look. The finish dries quickly and has held up well over time. If you're looking for an easy way to refresh décor, furniture, frames, or craft projects without a lot of expense or effort, this product is definitely worth trying.

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!

Essential for highlighting metal

As someone who loves incorporating antiques into my home, I'm always looking for ways to breathe new life into old pieces. I frequently use the European Gold/Antique Gold finish to blend repairs and updates seamlessly. It gives each piece a beautiful, timeless look and helps preserve the character that makes antiques so special.

My only complaint about this tube of rub n buff is that it seemed a little crumbly and I'm not sure it's supposed to be that way? I did sort of shake and knead it a bit before opening but it still came out kind of crumbly. Thinking it's supposed to be smoother and easier to apply. The color is really nice and it gives an antique brass finish. Be sure to buff with microfiber cloth just after you apply it in each section for slight shine, otherwise it will be dull,. A second coat may be needed. I used it on picture frames and even on a couple of metal pieces I had and it looks really nice and natural. The photo I posted was of a frame that I used it on that was a dark wood originally. Of course the color may vary in real life. It really can transform to look you're going for very nicely.

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!

This product is great. I put it on the mirror frame. The frame was bright gold. Using European gold the frame looks prettier and toned down. I’ll buy run n buffs again

Got this paint to paint a mobile arm for our nursery and the paint was really easy to work with. Painted the mobile black first then just used a glove and rubbed the paint in. Was a lot easier to work with then I thought it would be. This color matched out crib frame perfectly! A little goes a long way.

Produit de très bonne facture , le prix paraît élevé mais la qualité est là, je vais passer commande pour les autres coloris

I adore these gold polishes and have used them on all sorts of projects . I often combine a couple of golds together to soften the look but they go on pretty much any surface and I have used the paste on frames , furniture and even a couple of handles. Make sure you apply in layers and wear gloves or else you will genuinely have gold fingers . A little goes a long way .

Auf den ersten Blick wirkt Amaco Rub ’n Buff in European Gold etwas hochpreisig, aber die starke Deckkraft und die hohe Ergiebigkeit relativieren den Preis schnell. Durch US‑amerikanische YouTuberinnen darauf aufmerksam geworden, habe ich es inzwischen mehrfach für DIY-Projekte genutzt und bin vollends überzeugt!

I had a metal table that was starting to discolor, and I was able to restore it to its original color beautifully with Rub 'n Buff! The metallic finish looks fantastic, and the table looks as good as new. However, be cautious: do not let it come into contact with water. The table accidentally got wet, and unfortunately, it left a mark on our floor. So, while the product works wonderfully for restoring and enhancing the finish of metal surfaces, it's essential to avoid any exposure to moisture. Overall, I’m very pleased with the results, just be mindful of the water risk!

Used to spruce up old photo frames, looks great
