Just in case anyone is a noob doing this:

When taking out the wiper arms, make sure you mark the wiper position or you might end up with a wiper that hits the A-pillar or in the case of our design, hitting each other on their way up.

+1. I've done it on a few cars, sooner or later it will happen to any car.

This is the stuff you guys want. Sem Trim Black 39143 . Scuff the wipers with some scotchbrite then paint it with Sem trim black. This stuff goes on light and smooth, does not fade at all, and is relatively inexpensive. Any good auto store should carry it but Napa is usually where I find it. The product page shows a bluish color can, I've only seen it in an all white can. Hope this helps!

every car I've had does this. Grill paint. Don't forget to clean them and possibly score the surface first. It'll last longer. Still only a few years before you have to do it again.

Take a scotch pad to them and then use Krylon satin black or equivalent. 2-3 light coats come out pro.
