Sorry I did not get back to you -

I used toner - because I had some. I wanted the gold cloth to be redder so I used walnut. Sprayed from a distance with my paint gun so that the cloth was just misted. You DON"T want a heavy buildup. AND, wood dye without the lacquer would probably work better, sprayed the same way.
