Any shade of metallic red, or most any metallic color for that matter, is not the paint that you want to use on your first paint job attempt, but looks like you have found that out. Paint is not cheap now so that adds to the aggravation of having to buy more paint and remove the old that you just spent money on. I'm sympathizing with you because I've been there. Light colors seem to be the easiest for us amateurs. Be sure all of your material is same brand and follow directions exactly, as DS said above. Good luck and post pics as you go.
