Need a deep red.

[font="times new roman, times, serif"]What I can tell you about Red paint is that it is pretty transparent, and a lot of people just hammer it on and then it takes forever to dry and the top dries first and then it will dye back causing it to fade, that is where you get the pink from. For me, I have had the best luck with Krylon for rattle bomb paint. For maximum coverage I use a medium gray primer and then several light coats of red until I get the shade I am looking for. Rattle can paint is difficult as you can not regulate the atomization but not impossible. However, paint your red first and then mask off what you want to stay red and then paint the black. Black covers very easily, but again I would put it on in thin coats with about 30-60 minutes between flash times depending on room temp. another idea is to paint a piece of scrap at the same time, that way you can mess with it and if something goes wrong then not a big deal. It sounds really cool and would love to see a final pic!![/font]
Here the red of my boys last year car.
It's got a much more deep color than the red wheels. It's funny how wrong of a build that car is.

W - I mostly use Duplicolor - but for what you are looking for I have had real good luck with Testors One Coat.W racing said:
i had a very deep red with the x-metal on primed wood with no metal, i believe i used a gray primer and just 2 coats of the paint. Krylon makes it and i found mine at Wal-mart. here is a pic of the car. i did not prep the wood very good, and it was a quick job but you can see the red really good.
[font="times new roman, times, serif"]My son and I are doing a super hero theme this year, and although not complete yet, my car is the "Flash" which will be a brilliant deep RED. My son is doing the "Green Lantern". This is my car but it needs primed and painted[/font]
I hope this works, it is my first attempt at posting a pic...

W , you can't go wrong with testers. They have a deep red lacquer. So does that mean you will join in with a new car. We sure miss ya. It would be great if you are getting back into the frey.
Sogone is right, it is hard to beat the one shot, i used it alot and there is alot of colors to chose for with a couple nice reds.
