There is only one version of the oem mud flaps. They are black plastic and are intended to be painted by the owner or not. I think that for a non-metalic white, like I have, Krylon spray paint for plastic would work fine. At least for the part not facing the tires.

Krylon plastic paint
I painted a piece of PVC that is part of our irrigation system with Krylon plastic-coat paint a few years ago. This sits in the sun each day and there is a sprinkler had at the top of the ~5-foot long length of PVC. When the sprinkler runs the pipe sways/bends quite a bit. No indication of any damage or wear so far. Mud flaps, if properly dsigned, are actually not very flexible...unless they are the cheap rubber type. These are not. I doubt that there would be any issue with the Krylon plastic paint product. Remember, all the flexible plastic parts on a car come painted, anymore, including bumper covers that flex and get whacked w/o damage.
This is not your mother's Krylon paint.
Great stuff.
