Druna Skass Posted May 2, 2004 Posted May 2, 2004 I want to make a red wine shade of red to paint up an Aegis Gundam and for stripes I want to put on my VF-1A's wings and fins. Thing is, I'm not sure what colors to mix, is it just dark red and black or do I need something else? Quote
Ghadrack Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 Actually a hint of purple might serve you well, too much black is going to give you a dried blood, very dark red color, I think you may get what you are looking for by adding just a tiny bit of purple to keep the hue from going to dark but still giving you that deep red. Just a though if you start farting around with blending and can't get the shade you are looking for Quote
kanata67 Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 I was going to suggest blood red with a purple wash. Wash it once lightly and let it dry... then see if you need to wash it again. FYI... red wine varies in color a lot... not that I'm an alcoholic or anything Quote
