Thanks for the compliment man, I glad I could help.
Hot Toys colors are pretty much dead on to what the suit looks like in real life but not how they appear in the film.
I initially went with the create pearlized red mixed with some create transparent red to make it a bit darker. But after darkavatar posted it made sense to go for more of a dark maroon metallic. Since the plastic of the "S" is a hard plastic I did a quick small area test with the testors stop light red I have which is a very dark maroon metallic color. It went on just fine with no chemical reaction to the plastic. So a few hours later I went back and did the rest of the symbol. He looks way better now, props to darkavatar for the advice.
You could probably skip the createx paints and go straight for the testors stop light red. I'd do a small area first to see if its the color you want, if not try a small area with the createx pearlized red, then come back and go over it with testors stop light red after it's dried and see how that looks to you. Hope this helps.
