I want to clean it up, get the black overspray off and spray it to the closest red I can get.

krylon fusion red is kinda close i painted my rocker panels with it and nobody could tell the difference except for me.

ok, what would you recommend to clean up the valences with?

Castrol Superclean works great on just about anything. Go to town with a scrub brush. You might find a lot of "dirt" won't come off very easily though as tar, grease and all kinds of other stuff accumulate there. Might have to resort to a solvent of some kind like mineral spirits or acetone. But be careful if you do as they can screw up your paint as well.

Looks like there is some rust to take care of also.

edit: Also you maybe able to have a local automotive paint shop/store put the color of your car into a spray can( not alot may do that, so you'll may have to check around). Your color code is on the drivers side strut tower, get the name and the code number thats on it then they can mix up a can for you.

towerpaint.com or paintscratch.com for colormatched paint. otherwise you might even try wetsanding if its overspray. googone+rubbing alcohol works for things like this also.
