Exactly what I was looking for!!!! In my mind I figured this could be done with simple acrylic. This video showed me that I wasn’t just imagining things!! I love it
Is the first coat of black enamel a flat or a satin finish? This is very helpful in my effort to restore the metal ornamentation on antique mantle clocks. Thank you!
Looks great!! I need to do this to a new barn door hardware I’m distressing …. Can you tell us the products you used and where to buy (perhaps adding links?)
goldenpaints.com for the acrylic Iridescent Copper Light (fine). TransTint Brown Mahogany, Homestead Finishing Products for the clear glaze. Black lacquer base color topped with any brand clear lacquer or polyurethane.

Hi, First of all thanks for sharing this video and it is very nice, So long time I am looking for this. Finally got it. But the problem is I have been to many paint shops and enquired about antique paintings all said "NO". So I decided to paint my iron door to get antique finish. But I have zero knowledge init. I am from India, could you please guide me what kind of products should I buy to get this kind of finish. Please share each product details which I can buy in India including the cloth which you have used. Waiting for your reply. Thanks in advance.
I am not sure that you will answer this but I am going to take a white iron bed and antique it to dark gold....Distressed gold similar to the color of your hardware. Would you suggest I paint it with dark paint after I prime it dark or just start using the gold on it?
I don't know what products you will be using but you will probably want a base color under the gold. I've found that Rustoleum primer makes a good base color for wood graining such as mahogany. I forget the primer's color. The rusty red/brown one might be a good choice for your project. Krylon primer dries quicker. Good luck.
, too, am restoring a 100- year-old house. The seven doors upstairs 3 bedrooms and closets with copper-plated hardware ( antique finished) with several coats of paint-over. That's seven sets of hinges, 14 doorknobs, 14 backplates, yada yada yada. I am experienced with paint stripper, so cleaning them is no problem. I would like a copper finish close to the original. Have searched for copper hardware with no satisfactory results. Any ideas??
thanks for sharing..its really cool. I have two question ..one ..For the second layer of antiqued glaze (Trans-tint) that you have used, can I get any other alternative. This product is unavailable in India. Can i pick an alternative product from the hardware or automotive store? What should i ask for? second..Can i use an acrylic spray instead of an enamel spray. would the effect be the same?
You can try an alcohol based aniline dye instead of Trans-tint. Comes in powder form. (wood finishing product) Don't need to mix the entire bottle as directed. Play with small amounts until you get the desired effect. Yes, an acrylic spray will work.
Hi Sarah, nice to see that you are from India, I am also looking for antique finish paint for my iron gate but here I did not find any capable person here, So I have decided to do it myself, could you please share the product details for all the steps, if possible share pictures of it. Waiting for your response. Thanks in advance.
I salvaged the pulls from an 1850's dresser restoration. Wooden knobs had been replaced with these iron pulls. They were perfect for my pantry cupboard.
Not sure what you're asking? The product that gives the second layer of antiqued glaze is Trans-tint, a multi-purpose colorant used in clear finishes and pore fillers.

I’m doing this now I’m using rub and buff and a gloved hand for more control of color. I don’t want too much color.
Thank you! I'm going to do the opposite and use black to highlight over a gold fixture. :)
Thanks so much for the amazing tips
Exactly what I was looking for.

It appears I used satin finish. There could be an argument that flat finish would aid somewhat with adhesion of the following coats.
Very nice!!!!
Very good!
Thans for sharing yours knowledge.

Have you tried Simi-chrome polish like I used in my brass polishing video?
