Fluorescent Red is a dark vivid red with a warm undertone. No shortage of substitutes here, Evil Sunz Scarlet from Citadel matches at 96 percent and 9 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match. For modelling, drop to Bold Pyrrole Red in the recesses and step up to Orange on the edges, both Monument Pro Acryl paints. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.
