Is there anything like this as a RFU color?
Just asking because Matsui here in Japan offers only metallic silver and in order to get a metallic god we would have to add some yellow pigments to the metallic silver.
So too complicated to me.

It's easy to tint to gold. I didn't have the best experience with it however, far too much hassle for a print that felt essentially like plastisol to me. Just my opinion, others love the stuff and there's a good chance the first gal I got was actually spent and causing a good deal of the issues.
Whatever you do, do not overprint it over a DC base or try to activate it!

Need glitter base ready to use ink .

They do not make a ready to use metallic gold. You would have to buy their Metallic Silver Base and tint it using Matsui Neo Gold Yellow MFR.

Will look into that, thanks. I keep forgetting Union makes WB.

But that`s only for light colored garments, right?

No. Printing it direct on navy blanks for a major fitness apparel group and they love it.

Maybe I looked at the wrong Union waterbased gold , the only one I can find is the Union Aerotex shimmer gold. Or is there another waterbased gold available from Union?

I don't have experience with the Union WB inks, but most metallic WB inks have the opacity to P/F/P and lay down a nice print on dark cotton shirts. If you get a batch thats a bit runny and you have some time, leave the bucket without a lid for a few days and allow some of the water to evaporate. The less water, the more opaque they'll print out of the bucket, but as a side effect they also become a bit tougher to work with.
In regards to the Matsui inks, its really not too tough to mix a gold from the silver, and I can send you our formulas if you decide to go that route. They are the PC colors though, and I understand that Matsui has discontinued that line. But you should be able to get close with any system using our formulas as a guide. We've done bronze, copper, pink, purple and all sorts of other metallics using that ink and its no more difficult than mixing a standard color.
