Agree with Rub ‘n Buff ...the stuff is magic. Very easy to use and a little goes a long way.

Another vote for Rub 'n Buff. I love using that stuff, and swear I'd Rub 'n Buff my husband if he stood still long enough. (Not like that ... you know what I mean.)

Thank you IdaClaire. Do you know that it's heat resistant?

You'll need to read up on the product online, but I would think so, based on my own experience. I've read that RnB is not recommended for outdoor applications, but I used it on some shepherd's hook plant hangers in my garden, and it's withstood extreme Texas heat and the recent Snowpocalypse just fine. It's durable stuff, and your light fixture is unlikely to get hot enough to degrade it.

There are a lot of nooks and crannies in that chandelier. It might be difficult to apply that Rub 'n Buff by hand.

The pieces come apart, and it would be harder to tape everything off to spray paint.

And I’m usually in the spray paint camp, but not on this.

Ok so they do not sell RnB at Canadian Michael's...but thank goodness for Amazon. There are 3 or 4 varieties of gold. Does anyone have an opinion on them?

@suedonim75: "it would be harder to tape everything off to spray paint."

Nah, just remove the globes, bulbs, and screws, and tape over the socket openings. Hang it up and spray away!

Hold paint is tricky and you need a lot. Just research a lot before you spray!

This blogger has a comparison of the various golds. Hope it helps.

There are YouTube tutorials on Rub ‘n Buff also to inspire you.

I find it very easy to use RnB, even on more detailed items. It's just a very different application, but to me it's fun and actually goes fairly quickly.
