What is the correct color for the front and rear valences on my car. I don't really mind if it is out of a rattle can, just want to pull the front one off, clean them both up, prime, paint and not have to deal with it again.

Dupli-color semi-gloss black is a good choice for OEM appearance, and is usually easy to find. I mix standard gloss and flat implement enamel to get the low gloss finish I want, and add some hardener, this is for a spray rig though.

As with any painting, the prep work is the key to a good finish and holdout. Wash with soap and water first, clean with Prep-sol or Klix 88 before any sanding. You want to make sure you remove any and all grease, wax, and silicones before you start sanding, or you'll just push that kind of junk all over the part and have problems.
