Of it. It is at a good price point and it great quality. The color is very luxe. The plant quality appears to be good as well. Trying to think of more things to do with it so I can use it again!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2025Easy to use and looks fantastic on painted furniture and crafted items. Smells a bit, but it’s bearable.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2025Love this product! It really brought the dresser I was working on alive.
It gave it a beautiful shimmery finish. A little goes a long way with this.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2025I used this product on some old frames that were scratched up, and this product breathed new life into them. I could not be happier with how easy this was to apply and work with. I didn't do any sanding or prep work to the frames prior to, I just wiped them down to make sure they weren't dusty. Depending on the amount of coverage you'll want for your final piece, you may need to apply two coats, possibly three.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2025After reading about some projects using this, I decided to try. It is thick and sticky and drys quickly. However, I was very pleased with the end result. I used it on my front door handle and it looks so much better! Look like a new brass one! Also, great for using on picture frames for touch ups and other projects.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2025This stuff is amazing for my 3d prints making them look rustic. Can't believe I haven't seen it before. Dries almost instantly. A little learning curve applying too much at times but couldn't be happier.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2025This may come in a small package but a little goes a long way and it will last a long while! Very impressed with the coverage and durability. The look is that of metal once you work it in, there is no strong odor, and was easy to use. Would recommend wearing gloves if you plan on using your finger to work into spots, but it did clean up nicely if you didn’t let it dry (took a little more effort to clean up if you let it dry).
- Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2025This stuff works great. Used on door hinges and provided a beautiful gold finish. Does not chip or rub off either so very durable.

Prodotto stupendo, qualità altissima. Io lo
Uso per le mie incisioni su vetro. Venditore gentile (ha lasciato un biglietto di ringraziamento dentro il pacco) e affidabile. C’è voluto del tempo arrivando dall’America ma ne è valsa la pena e i tempi sono stati rispettati come da indicazione durante l’acquisto.

5.0 out of 5 stars “Easy-to-Use Antique Gold for a Luxurious Finish”
The Amaco Rub ’N Buff in Antique Gold is an incredible product for adding a touch of elegance to any project. The colour is rich and vibrant, with a beautiful metallic sheen that looks truly high-end. It’s so easy to apply—just a small amount goes a long way, and it buffs to a flawless finish.
I’ve used it on furniture, frames, and even small decorative items, and it transforms them completely. It adheres well and dries quickly, making it perfect for quick updates or detailed projects. If you’re looking for a versatile and effective product to add a golden touch, this is absolutely worth it!
