Default Painting Question



Hey all i needed to bring this picture back for a qustion.

What color black should i use to make it pop?

My auto body guy was thinking a metallic black, but because i plan on using the factor Touch Red for the red. I thouht it might look a little funny unless i add metallic to both.

Heres my 10 minute work


please dont make fun, its just a reference.

I would go with straight deep black with nothing added. It will make the bottom look like a mirror and make the red look brighter and more vibrant.

Use a glossy black to really make the red pop... but flat would look pretty mean as well! Either way that car is going to look awesome.
