I picked up some FASKOLOR Parma acrylic paint for my lhs. If I wanted a red/chrome color, how much would I need to mix.

Don't mind the mess in the background, my computer desk is the one place I can never keep clean.
 
That's one of those things you won't know till you test it out on scrap pieces of Lexan. For the most part, you'll probably need a thinned coat of red and silver, probably with some burgundy to darken it and give it a little more shimmer, mixed to your preference. The different backing coats will have different effects. It's unlikely you'll get what you're looking for with a solid covering. You might not even use the red in the initial mix.
 
You might want to look at Spazstix Red Hard Ano paint. Then back it with the Parma Faschrome or the silver that you already have.
 
Get the red glitter and spray in in a few clear coats. Then back it with the burgundy. You'll impress yourself with a beautiful paint job.

Can't find what you're telling me to get. Little help maybe?
