Windshield Wiper Arm Paint Color
The wiper arms on my '03 were rusting up so I bought some trim paint from the local NAPA.
Dupli-Color Trim Paint "Black"
Not a bad match, but I simply used a scrotch-brite to clean up the arms, so I am sure it will not take long for the rust to return.

Should have treated it like a car paint. Get paint and clear coat.

Good idea, although that would have taken my project from six dollars to twelve.
Can you buy clear coat that is not glossy?

removal of the arms are easy. open hood, remove nut. brake arm free of taper, unplug washer hose and remove. repeat for other side.

Brilliant! would match my tail lights to. here am plotting to try engine enamel... I have tried plasti dip for countless things and done 2 cars. yet never once has it occurred to me to simply do that for my wiper arms.
