Hatchbox Gold is the best looking gold without glitter or silk shine. It does appear slightly reflective but its not silk. This is my reference gold.
Hatchbox filament is very easy to print and the layers come out smooth. It is a well trusted affordable filament. Hatchbox continues to have a labelling issue where several shades will all be called green or blue sometimes with no clarification. Be careful when buying Hatchbox for this reason. Hatchbox comes on a plastic roll in 1KG sizes.
