Not sure on current method but a using a red rattlecan to prime could work? Then you can do the black details with a black contrast paint, then do metallics on a couple of details, potentially all over thin wash, and just ignore any other details? Could do an all over drybrush of a brighter red post rattlecan, pre contrast too.
Ignoring details is a great way to paint faster and works well on things like marines that are broadly one colour anyway. Tabletop minions has a video about this on YT somewhere but I can't find it right now.

My eldest has painted himself into a corner though. He's painting Flesh Tearer space marines, with lots of black armour and fiddly detail. I need to help him come up with an easier way to paint the armour so he can progress quicker, otherwise he loses interest.
