Pébéo Gold Dorer Empire-30 ml, Wax, 30 ml

This product is wonderful. While it appears pricey, a tiny amount goes the longest way. I have struggled with rub and buff. Not only is the color of this more realistic and prettier, the product is much easier to use. You can wipe it with a cloth or you can use a paintbrush. I use this product on a light fixture that I spray painted bronze, and then brushed gold to match an existing fixture I had. It turned out beautiful. You could do a whole project without spray paint. I also painted a clay pot that turned out really pretty.

Je n'ai pas réussi à restaurer mes cadres de tableaux lisses dorés. On voit les traces. La couleur est bien.

I LOVE this product! I researched for a long time before I bought it -- I wanted the right color of gold, one that was "thick" enough, and a product that would hold up over time. I have been restoring a very damaged metal statue and needed a good paint. It had to be a rub so the indented designs in the statue wouldn't get filled with paint. I bought this even though it was pricey. I painted/rubbed this whole 2.5 foot statue, front and back, and even being generous probably used less than a measuring tablespoon and have at least 2/3s of the jar left for other projects. Color: The color is nice. I would have liked it to be a bit "warmer " but it is a nice color of gold. It is not shiny and also not matte -- it is sort of a satin finish. The gold doesn't "sparkle". Application: The paint itself is a rub that is easy to rub on with a finger (the instructions say to use a glove, but if you do you can't manipulate the paint as well), piece of cloth, or a brush. Drying time: It dries in an hour or so to touchable, but it needs to sit a few days to be sure it is set. When using, it is important to take a little bit out of the jar and put it in a container or piece of waxed paper that you can throw away. That bit needs to be used in about an hour because it starts to harden and becomes harder to use. The pain adhered nicely to a rust converter that I painted the statue with first. If you paint for a long period right out of the jar, you risk letting the paint get too hard and you won't be able to use it again. Clean-up: I used Speedball Pink Soap. Someone suggested Dawn Dishwashing Detergent but it didn't work. The Pink Soap dud the trick on my brushes, not my hands. It wears off my hands after about a day. Other uses: I also used this on some paper. You can burnish it to a shine on paper but I don't seem to be able to do it on the statue. Overall: I think it is a good quality product and a good value for your money. Though it is a tiny amount, it goes a very long way!

I bought this cause I was trying out some crafts. This glides on smooth and the color gold is awesome. Great to use as a highlight.

The Gedeo Gilding Wax is fantastic quality and incredibly easy to use. It applies smoothly with a finger or cloth and buffs up to a rich, beautiful metallic shine that instantly elevates craft and mixed-media projects. A little goes a long way, and the finish looks professional on a variety of surfaces. Purchased from Amazon and arrived exactly as described. Perfect for adding highlights and luxury detail—highly recommended. ✨🎨
