This could really be posted for all models. I recently picked up a 96SE that had faded aftermarket tail/brake lights that looked like hell. I was about to take them off when I remembered I had some Tamiya red clear model paint from my model making days. Work great! They look new again. It is an acrylic formula so it should last.

I use fingernail polish. Large variety of colors and easy to find. Very durable with clear coat. Built in brush too.

What is a "red clear" paint? Is the paint red or clear? I suspect you mean clear gloss paint.

They turned out really good. Let us know how well they hold up over time.
