Elevate Your Entertainment Space: Transforming My TV Frame with Rub 'n Buff for a Luxe Gold Finish

Hey there!  How's the new year treating you?  So far, my year is wonderful!  I started my new job and I love it!  I work for a general practice MD and since I started right after the doctor being on a one week vacation and a holiday, it was extremely busy my first few days.  That's ok though, I feel it helps me learn faster and get my processes down quicker.

My television is the focal point of my entertainment space and also in the middle of my gallery wall. What better way to enhance its visual appeal than by giving it a touch of luxury with a gold frame? In this blog post, I'll explore the transformative power of Rub 'n Buff, a versatile and easy-to-use product that can turn a plain TV frame into a stunning, gilded masterpiece.

Why Rub 'n Buff?

Rub 'n Buff is a metallic wax finish that has been a favorite among DIY enthusiasts for years. Its unique formula allows it to adhere to various surfaces, making it ideal for transforming everyday items into something extraordinary. The product is easy to apply, dries quickly, and provides a durable, long-lasting finish.

Materials Needed:

1. Rub 'n Buff in the desired gold shade (I used Antique Gold)
2. Painter's tape
3. Optional:
4. Soft cloth or foam brush
5. Clean, dry cloth for buffing
6. Old newspapers or drop cloth to protect your work area.

   Step-by-Step Guide:

   1. Preparation: Before you start, make sure your TV frame is clean and free of dust. Use a damp paper towel instead of any cleaners that may have oils in them. Use painter's tape to protect the screen and any other areas you don't want to be covered in Rub 'n Buff.

   2. Optional: Lay down newspapers or a drop cloth to catch any drips. I'm a rebel and never do this.

      1. Application: Using a soft cloth or foam brush, apply a small amount of Rub 'n Buff to the TV frame. Start with a thin layer and build up the coverage as needed. The wax-like consistency of Rub 'n Buff allows for precise application, ensuring you get the perfect finish.

      2. Drying Time: Allow the Rub 'n Buff to dry completely. The drying time is typically quick, but it's essential to follow the product instructions for the best results. This step sets the foundation for the lustrous gold finish.

      1. Buffing: Once the Rub 'n Buff is dry, use a clean, dry cloth to buff the surface gently. This step enhances the metallic shine, giving your TV frame a professional and polished appearance.

      2. Remove Painter's Tape: Carefully peel off the painter's tape from the protected areas, revealing clean lines and edges. Take your time to ensure a neat and precise finish.
