Pinks and Reds are some of the trickiest colors in enamel but I can help you navigate your way to success.  In most cases, your difficulty may arise from inadvertent contact with your silver basecoat.  You will understand by doing this exercise what exactly creates a perfect buffer layer.  When you are watching the opening video where I am holding this sample in my hands, you will see a few orangey areas within the very pink areas.  Those orange areas are places where the buffer coat was thinner and not adequate.  In some pieces those flashes of color will be interesting but in some cases, they may be an unwelcome blemish.

Here is a formula for success with pinks and reds.  It is not the only formula but one that you can rely on.
