1. Duplicate layer
2. Fuzzy select the line, threshold 120 to 130 (add any little bits missing as well)
3. Grow the selection by 1 pixel
4. Colors -> Map -> Color Exchange black to red and up the 3 sliders to maximaum
5. Repair the lettering using the clone tool, alignment = registered and clone from bottomlayer to top.
