95/96 Red Clears

Whats the easiest way to do the DIY red clears for a 95 max. I've seen some writeups but lost the links and they weren't that good anyways. Its obvious the red clear on a max is the hottest tail light mod but seems so difficult to do on the older 4th gens

Just hit the amber part with some testors clear enamel. 3 or 4 coats should clear it right up. That's what I did:

Yeah, it will clear any plastic that you spray it on.
