Wiper Arms

Does anyone know where i can buy new wiper arms? Not the blades, but the whole arm that holds the blades and connects to the motor. . I was looking at it and it seems like the black paint is starting to chip off. Looks crappy.. Any ideas?

Why don't you just take them off and paint them black again?
Cheaper, and if there's nothing wrong with them, I guess would make more sense.

Actually, you'll want to use a flat black paint. The stock wiper arms are painted flat black as well, this also keeps the sun from reflecting off and into your eyes. I once had a car where all the paint wore off and it was painful to drive around sunset because of it.
