5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful end result!
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2023
I used gloves. I took all hardware from an ugly grey pewter to a refreshing antique gold. The hardest part was taking the hardware off. Some of the hardware would not come off so I used a very small pointed brush and brushed it on. One thing to note... this is not like a liquid paint. It's thicker and can get clumpy quickly as it hits the air because it is very fast drying. When I received the 2 tubes I laughed and said well this won't get it done. However, I did all hardware on 2 nightstands, one tall dresser and one long chest and only used half of one tube! I love the end result. Very easy to apply and extremely cost effective. I posted some before and after pictures.

4.0 out of 5 stars This stuff is very cool. I got the antique gold color
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2018
This stuff is very cool. I got the antique gold color. I re-did a dresser that had been sitting outside and was quite a mess. The hardware was in bad shape but it was very unique and I couldn't find anything good enough/the right price to replace them. I soaked them in vinegar, buffed off the old cracked/bubbling finish and I rubbed this stuff on. They were a silver color once the finished was taken off prior to putting this product on. It didn't do anything to hide the imperfections but the color is fantastic and looks great. It doesn't come off on your hands or anything once it is dry. My suggestion is to use a little at a time until you get the hang of it. If you put too much on, it get's a little streaky and I don't know how to fix that. This was a great inexpensive fix!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 12, 2024
On these handles I didn’t need to sand them it went in perfect. With the previously white and rusted lights I had to sand with a fine grit paper first.

I applied with a soft cloth Left to dry overnight and then sprayed with a clear sealant. It dries almost immediately but I wanted to make sure before I used the sealant on the cupboard knobs for extra durability. I didn’t seal the door handle and it’s already wearing off.
Super easy to use. Goes a long way. Great value and very versatile.
