Default Best dye for Gold color?

What is the best dye to use for getting a good gold color, Gold S, Yellow 4A, or one of the browns? Doing some foot controls for a motorcycle.

Thanks,
Rad

Default Re: Best dye for Gold color?

Gold S with an ano thickness of only .5 mil works best for me. Watch that you don't get it too dark... kind of light looks more like real gold in my opinion.
