A black base coat will give you are darker red. A white base will give you a lighter red. Gray will give you a neutral color. You can buy rust red primer which works well for getting a deep red color.

The added bonus of a primer is that nooks and crannies were you may not hit well with spray kind of auto-shades itself. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/739400/9600980.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/739400/9600980.page GMT Citadel base coat sprays

Prime your models. Primer is specially formulated to stick to a surface and have paint stick to it. Paint alone may stick to plastic without primer, but will not stick as well.

All of the Citadel sprays are designed to be sprayed directly on plastic (if you look at the Chaos Black and Corax White, you'll note that they are both simply labelled "model paint" like all the others, none of them is specifically highlighted as a "primer")]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/739400/9601013.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/739400/9601013.page GMT Citadel base coat sprays http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/739400/9601234.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/739400/9601234.page GMT Citadel base coat sprays
If you're looking for an official endorsement, Duncan uses the sprays without first priming the models in several videos. But he also uses them on primed models as well]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/739400/9601666.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/739400/9601666.page GMT
