@cpauls1 depends on the contrast paint with how transparent they are. That red is just “one thick coat”. So it works great and gives the shading. You could obviously enhance the shading with a darker colour used as a wash to enhance it. But to get smooth coverage of the ink component of the contrast paint, a slightly rougher, true primer, works better.

Contrast paints on metallics – ohhhhh yes. The power sword is Leviadon Blue on a silver metallic paint. And also Basillicum Grey on grey primer is a good first pass for doing NMM steel. I guess the same with wraithbone primer and a yellow/brown contrast paint would work well (and people have done).
