Red giving me trouble

You guys were such a help with my last troubleshooting. Thank you for that.
I’m now struggling with Angelus scarlet red. I’ve used putty, navy blue, and burgundy which all came out great and very solid no streaks. But this red is so streaky and looks terrible. This is my second attempt at red and it looks just as terrible as my first attempt. I’m 4 coats in and intend to do 6 total. What am I doing wrong? 🫠

Hoping someone can help me troubleshoot. I am painting a pair of white dunks. I’ve tried using just angelus paint, 5-6 thin coats. And I’ve tried angelus navy dye 2 coats with angelus paint over top. Both are still showing white specks.

I sand with 400,800,1200 grit. Then acetone. Im also using adhesion promoter.

How can I get solid navy? TIA.

Can someone help me understand my numbers? I’m genuinely confused. I’m reading so much conflicting information.
The first number is from 6/2025 about 6 years of being vegetarian. The second number is 4/2026 after eating meat for about 9 months.

37 F. I don’t drink. I haven’t exercised consistently in years. Just had a hysterectomy 6 months ago, kept ovaries.
