Don't color match the flaps. Black only.

Besides the fact that it would look stupid, you'll have a hard time having paint adhere to textured, flexable urethane.

Duplicolor black bumper coating works really well for urethane.

There's also a really cheap black dye you can get that's [/i]made[/i] for dyeing urethane:

Stuff works great, and it's only $11

I would go with a dye product such as the one Eran suggested. Spray paint, regardless of what kind you select, is eventually going to start chipping and flaking.
