Know a Good Red?

Post by OtterGirl on Thu Dec 22, 2011 1:02 am

I have been having a hard time finding a red I really like. I've been using DFX, but I find that it just doesn't go on as opaque as I'd like. I'd also like a darker, rusty red for blood (which I seem to find myself painting a lot). Any suggestions of brands/colors?

I think Paradise Red is good for blood

I like Snaz Classic for things like spiderman.
I personally found DFX and Wolfe reds too orange-y for my taste.

Amen, sister! Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not a huge Snaz fan, but maybe I'll give it a try.

I like Snaz red for Spiderman, it's bright and one of my Snaz's that hasn't melted to a gooey mess. But for a blood-red I prefer Paradise

TAG red is awesome, and yeah, I also love paradise red for a deeper richer colour.

Not a big fan of Snaz, but it's the only paint my local theatrical store sells. But the Snaz Classic Bright Red is the best red I've tried...

I love tag red - not the Tag pearl though the pearl has a sligh pink hue to it. but the red is very red. but I also have a snaz blood cake for that.
It seemed only fair I bring glitter for the girls and blood for the boys - and of course the boys and girls who like to mix it up.

I use Wolfe Red and love it! I think it's the most opaque Wolfe paint I've used. One swipe with a sponge and you have a vibrant amazing red! The only thing I have to compare it to is Snaz though, but I really like Wolfe red especially for Spiderman. When I do zombie faces I just put a black base for cuts and wounds then use red over/around it, and it produces a pretty good effect.

For a true red, I use snaz red. I also like their sparkle red. Not a big fan of snaz for most things.
If I need a darker red or blood I mix my reds with a little brown or black until I get the right shade, it takes only a few seconds.
