If you have problems getting a nice finish with yellow, orange, red and
other bright colours, paint the area with a couple of coats of white
paint
first.	The bright "warm" colours are always a problem for paint
manufacturers, because the only pigments that give good bright colour
and
are opaque, are dangerously toxic.  With almost every paint line I've
tried, the reds and yellows don't cover very well - especially over a
dark
undercoat.  Painting the area white first solves this problem, and you
get
good bright colours without "greying", like you see with red over a
black
base.  Just remember to let the white dry thoroughly before painting
over
it - or you'll end up with a pastel mess.
