Touching up Windshield Wipers

konak: Actually, I think he's talking about the wiper arms as opposed to the wiper blades.
superblack: Check out an Auto Body supply store (...or even your local Auto Parts Store) for the matte black paint for the arms.

Go to Walmart to the automotive paint section...they carry lots of Duplicolor products. Get the Duplicolor Metallic Graphite paint (I used this paint for my wiper arms as well as for the AE headlight mod). Also get a can of aircraft stripper if you don't have any already.
Remove the wiper arms (one 14mm nut on each). Remove wipers from the wiper arms and generously spray each wiper arm with the aircraft stripper and let them sit for about 10-15 min. After wetsand them until you have all the old paint off and spray with more stripper if needed.
Dry then spray about 5 coats of the Duplicolor graphite paint waiting about 10 minutes between coats. Allow to dry completely (2-3 hours should be good depending on humidity). Reinstall and enjoy (I actually did this YESTERDAY)
