Funny.. that's exactly what I did. I've only had Photoshop for about a month now so I don't think I'm doing too bad of a job, of course I have work to do. But I tried reproducing that red colour and everything looked like crap so I gave up. I'm sure if i had more time with the gunmetal I could've made it look better, but thanks for the input.
