You can use a leather or plastic conditioner on the mudflaps to bring that black to a nice shine but it will dry after a while. I would imagine you could paint them black and that would last a while longer.

Perhaps your painter just needs to have you be the sqeaky wheel that needs to be greases (or painted) to quiet down.
