The other thing here is that Citadel makes two different kinds of Contrast paint.
Blood Angels Red works as you describe - the original type of Contrast paint Citadel manufactured. Slather that over a white undercoat, and you'll get something that looks similar to the more complicated process of painting the entire thing with Evil Sunz Scarlet and washing it afterward with Agrax Earthshade. The "self-highlighting " part of these Contrasts really isn't bright enough for the Second Edition red that I like, but if you were in a hurry to get tabletop ready, it would probably pass muster.
Compare this to Baal Red. Baal Red over a white undercoat is a really intense red, like something you'd expect to see on a flashy sports car. It doesn't have any of the depth that Blood Angels Red does. the advantage here is that you get this intense red coat without having to worry about thinning your paints, so if you're a beginner, you might be able to skip that part for now ... and if you know what you're doing and this colour is what you're after, it can be a nice shortcut.
