If you go with a silver go with a modern-looking silver and not a flat looking one and I bet it'll look great, especially if the red is a candy or metallic and not just a gloss. Correct me if I'm wrong aren't most silvers used as a base coat??

Are you getting it done or spraying yourself?

you can use any color metallic base for a candy. i was gonna go with more of a titanium silver.
