 I will add that any red over a black base is gonna be a little "off".
The base doesn't
have to be white, but something between the black and the red will help.
One nice color I've found is a brand called "dragon color" or "dragon
stain", the color
is "blood" and it is great - works amazingly well for Blood Angels etc
and gives
a slightly translucent deep red which looks like...blood. Looks
especially nice
with dark colors around. It is somewhat translucent, so on black it
might be a
little dark, but over the red you have already painted on it should look
fine.
        Really, any red stain/wash/ink over your existing red will probably
deepen
the color. If that one you have isn't right, try another.

Angels, uses a LOT
of red...)
