Just get a can of red auto trim paint to color match your car. It is kind of a satin finish. Paint it with that stuff. Then, when you get scratches and knicks you can just use a peice of cardboard to keep from spraying the bumper cover and repaint the splitter. Works great on my black/black. Don't know why it wouldn't work on red/red. I'm sure they have red trim paint.
It's not like you need a good enough finish on the splitter to wax or anything.

Not AIR, but a black GT Racing one for comparison.

I did it in satin black to match the black plastic side skirts so it has that psuedo-factory look.

Since I replaced the side skirts they're all nice and black, unlike the graying originals I removed. With all fresh black around the bottom edge, it looks great to me.

If you dont mind me asking, how much did that cost to replace? mine is all warped from someone using a jack that didnt clear.

New windshield washers, speaker grills for the doors, etc. If it's been broken, chipped or faded, I've replaced it.
