By the way....Someone mentioned having to do 5 coats of red paint. The main thing to keep in mind is whenver painting dark colors (esp. red) you need to do at least one coat of primer first. Tinted primer if at all possible. American Tradition (Lowes) has a wonderful deep based primer that is excellent for painting dark colors. We use it whenever painting dark colors. It's amazing the steps (coats) it saves!
