Just like the title says, ne1 ever noticed rust or paint chippings on their wiper "arms"? I had some on mine and it pissed me off... So, I went to local auto store and bought some *flat black paint for like 6-7bucks, went home dismounted them (1bolt on each). Sanded with 180ish grit i believe, cleaned with thinner and painted thin coats on them till they were good looking. Unfortunately I don't have a camera hooked to my pc and cant post, but it's worth the money I paid for them to look as they do... Totally 98% better than they were. Thought I would share this idea with you guys.


Give it a try.

yeah i just used a flat black color paint, dupont brand. Didnt wanna use clear coat cuz i thought it might look weird being all shiney but the flat look is perfect with me. Did lots of small layers.
