I've done some reading (on the net, where else? lol), and it seems you may be painting this puppy by hand with craft paint if you really want it to be a different color. Several claim you can use model paint, and if you can find a model shop, that they have model paint in spray cans that you can use. Some even claim you can buy Styrofoam safe spray paint, so I would suggest checking your local craft shop. Otherwise, I think you're stuck with it this color! I suggest adding it as an accent piece to your current color scheme, maybe in a bathroom or powder room on the vanity with some other decorations of your chosen color. That way you can use it, but it will not be in your main area of the house. Or you could use it outside at your entrance in a mixture of other textures and colors. You could always splatter paint it with craft paint in the color scheme you already use. The red would be a background color to your colors. Sorry, that's about all I can come up with.
