I bought some rub & buff from the local craft store, too, and it looks good. They only had the silver, though, and want to try and get hold of the jade green and gold and see if I can make a decent imitation of cadmium plating for my headlight and wiper vacuum cans. Anybody know of good place to order the stuff online?

Don't know where to buy - but I found an open tube of "gold
leaf" Rub 'n' Buff in the tool box at work. Figures - I already
painted tons of parts with gold paint. We'll see how the gold
leaf turns out.

I got the antique gold.
silver leaf
and the patima.

did the gold on my hood light. Looks like it needs a second coat.
will do the qjet. If it looks good when done, Ill post pics. If not, Ill make sure to leave the aircleaner on!

by the way, I bought it at Michaels. an arts and crafts place.
Im sure if I want other colors, they'll order it for me.
