Default Painting ACI Splitter

I installed an ACI splitter on my Torch Red '01 coupe about a year ago. I that time I did not want to paint it Torch Red, but I thought I would go with a matte black for a slightly more aggressive look.

I am now thinking about painting it to match. My question is has anybody (I believe Munch did) painted theirs with color matching base coat clearcoat aerosol cans or did you have it done by a paint shop. If you had it painted what did it run you?
Thanks

I did all the prep and then had it painted by a shop, cost me $150 i believe.

I kinda like the black, actually I like it either way.

I may have it done in the black Hydro Carbon. I need to decide if I want it painted to match or go with the Hyro Carbon.
