Only way I know of is to put a underlayer texture which is highly specular
and metallic (and red) with the upper layer being highlightless and slightly
transparent but not enough to show.  Checking on it I could get a decent red
highlight using rgbt<1,1,1,0.01> for the top layer and specular 50 to 100
for the bottom layer.
