Mirror-bright gold that bonds to wood, metal, and plastic with a single brush stroke
AurumLux is a water-based metallic coating packed with mica-rich gold pigment, engineered to flow cleanly and cure to a true mirror-like surface. It avoids the patchy, streaky appearance and yellowing that plague many gold paints, delivering a bright, metal-like finish.
It adheres to wood, metal, plastic and cement, making it suitable for thrifted frames, hardware, mirror surrounds, garden sculptures, and even concrete planters—all with a single tub that covers multiple projects.
The pigment-loaded finish reflects light like real gold, avoiding a chalky or dusty look and enabling indoor use without strong fumes.
As it dries, the self-leveling formula minimizes brush marks, producing a smooth, even coat. A cured layer resists rubbing, scuffing, and the dulling that cheaper golds often exhibit.
Indoor-friendly and low-odor, this water-based option cleans up with soap and water. There’s no need for mineral spirits or respirators when applying by brush, and you can work near the furniture you’re refinishing without venting the room.
Three-step method: start by wiping the surface clean and drying it; lightly sand glossy or chipped areas for better grip. Apply a thin coat with a brush, foam roller, or spray in long, even strokes and wait two hours before a second coat for full opacity. After 24 hours, the finish reaches its peak shine and becomes ready for use.
