Default i guess ill defend the n00b...

im assuming he wasnt talking about color and assumed painting it black... he was prob askin what kind of paint as far as brand/ adhesion properties etc etc...that being said my defense for him ends.... every1 knows plastic isnt "easy" to paint... it would have to be clean...on thing that a wheel well def is not and primed and painted with paint made specially for plastics....

as for look it might look ok nice and flat black for like a week...then road debris will just F it up again...so why even bother...soap and water and maybe some tire shine spray/gel*also check out meguiar's back to black) on show days works fine

Default Wheel well liners?

There should be factory undercoating or paint underneath the wheel well liners that you should have installed.

Default I use to work at a dealership and we would paint the wheel wells black to make them look clean...

Its just a way to get a car sold by making it look nicer than it is. Who wouldn't want nice dark clean wheel wells. If you want clean wheel wells don't drive your car.
