Insignia, you're going to have to clear somethings up for us.

Are you looking for a red final color, or white? Can you give us a picture of the issues that you are having?

Because CSM models are usually undercoated black and then painted red. but i dont know what the effects will be with the skull white?

So you're simply worried that a white undercoat will ruin the red.

Use Mechrite red, it's a foundation colour that will lay a flat red down really easily. From there, just go back over them with Blood red or whatever colour you're after, will work a charm.

No problem, happy to help.
Use the Mechrite sparingly, foundation paints are thicker than normal paints. Water it down a tiny bit, see how you fare.
