Hello and welcome. Depending on what red you are trying to achieve we will need more information. I have used vallejo vermilion red recently and very happy with the results. Primed with light grey then 3 airbrush coats of the red. Final coat of gloss varnish.

Red is a very hard color to airbrush. White and Yellow even harder. The key in achieving red coverage is spray in SEVERAL light coats until you get the maximum coverage to your liking.
