Darkness beset humanity, filling it's hearts with an emptiness.  Then the emperor said 'My bosom is life, my nipples it's protectors'. Seriously, I will never be able to look at these guys and not think nipples.  |

The brave soldiers of Hello Kitty Adventure Planet III...
But seriously, bright colors look great on the battlefield IMO!

I originally tried just red gore over black primer, and it looked a little sad. I read doing a base of white & red will make the red top coat pop a lot more.

You may also want to try putting a second coat of your base color over there, I can see a bit of black still peeking though.

Always use multiple thin layers in order to get smooth, even coverage without blurring the detail. And with the older colors, like Red Gore, you're going to run into that problem a lot - where its not thick enough to get good coverage over a black undercoat. That's why GW (and other companies) make Base specific paints - they have more pigment, so they cover black undercoats really really well.
Also don't be afraid to go and get a little messy - if you accidentally cover up some of those chest/helmet details with the pink, it's easy to go back in later with your metallics or black or whatever and paint over it to clean it up. What you don't want to have happen is you finish your model, and then notice that there are areas that should be Pink that didn't get coverage.
