Thats cool to know.
As a painter the general rule of thumb is to use primer that is lighter than the final color. An exception is when you want a dark color. If I want a deep navy blue I will usually go with a black primer. Ferrari red is rather bright. Placing a darker color below it doesn't seem intentional to me.
Also, this guitar also features a white primer coat below the darker red. I wonder if the guitar was ordered in Ferarri Red with lightning bolt airbrush, they sprayed it red but it wasn't the correct shade so rather than start over they simply blew the correct shade on over it.
Maybe the reason for the other color below your sparkles is that they wanted a highlight effect. I sometimes will use another color base with a pearl or sparkle to give it a highlight effect and color changing brillance.
