count draculure Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Hi Emmet, You can't mix red, It is a primary color. You can however tint or shade it. If you add blue, you can make it more purplish, adding yellow will make it orange. Adding green will brown it up and white will make it pink. That being said, I don't know exactly what watermelon red is or what kind of paint you are using. I would suggest starting with the purest red you can find, and experiment a bit until you find the shade you are looking for. Good luck! da Count Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobP Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Hmm, if you want something similar to watermelon worm with red flake, I'd start with watermelon base and then flick on some red splatter with a toothbrush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Try a clear coat with red glitter in it; then cover with a light coat of a transparent green. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
