While that's what I did (and believed) too; it was recently pointed out that
the SPC lists the deflector in a variety of colors: Black, Signal Red, Pale
Yellow, Pearl White, etc.  (Part numbers 803440 through 803448, page 85 in
my copy.)  So it appears that the factory at least initially supplied them
painted body color.
