Halfords do a heat resistant paint in an aerosol, personally I'd spray them silver but black would look okay with black wheels. scott lowe are supposed to do quality mudflaps they ain't cheap tho

I painted mine with a paint called Pot Black. It's meant for motorbike engines/ancillaries, is heat resistant, cheap, a doddle to apply and dries in 10 minutes. It has lasted for years on my hubs I can't remember where I got it but presumably a bike shop will be your best bet.
