I was so excited when my little parcel of new paints arrived on Sat. Amongst then I brought a paradise red. The quality and depth of colour is fantastic, but I'm so disappointed at the shade, it's more of a burgundy. Can anyone recommend a 'bright post box' red?

Snazaroo? Can't get much brighter than that. Although I'm surprised to hear about the paradise being so dark - is it Cherry Bomb that you ordered?

If you want a bright red from Paradise you need to get Beach Berry - the one they call "Red" is much more of a dark brick red - though not as dark when you use it as it looks in the pot. Snazaroo bright red is a good staple too though - especially if you are painting a lot of Spidermen!

Beach berry is a bright light red. I find it more red than orange, good for spider man.

I am with Liz, Snaz red is my favourite. Good coverage.

snaz all the way!! just make sure its a nice fresh pot not from somewhere where it has been sat on a shelf forever. all the suppliers on here will be nice and fresh.

snaz red for base for me. If you were looking for something for more detailed work tag red is a lovely deep red(I only stumbled upon it as part of the jubilee split cake).

well I bet you guys know what i am going to say....LOL Kryolan 080. Been using it for spidey for over 25 years.... never let me down yet! Yes more expensive innitially than snaz.... but lasts 3 times as long....so cheaper in the long run....and red is always needed as a colour....so in use on every job.
