I fell in love with these glass knobs.

But, I also fell for these bronze with copper highlights cup pulls.

Sadly, they were from different cultures. And their cultures didn’t get along.

But, with some gentle persuasion and a little Rub n’ Buff I convinced them that they were more alike than they thought.

Simply squeeze a small bit of Rub n’ Buff Gold Leaf onto a Q-tip and lightly rub it around the rim of the metal on the glass knobs.

Then buff off the excess with a clean paper towel.

    Wow! Perfect! I want to paint a lamp oil rubbed bronze and if I can’t find it now I know I can paint it black and give it a little Rub n’ Buff! Thanks for the inspiration!

      Susan, have you seen the Rustoleum Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint? It is a good start, but the Rub n’ Buff would really add that extra luster. Thanks for your comment.

    LOVE this tip! Where were you last summer when I settled for nickel-finish spray paint instead of what I really wanted: this look. 😉 Thanks for sharing–will totally be doing this.

        Inka gold is the brand name of another wax based metallic paint (beeswax in this case) that can be applied to virtually any surface and buffed just as rub and buff is used. It comes in a bunch of different colors.
