Default Old Wiper Arms, Paint Them or Replace Them

From your expierence what's better to do with old wiper arms. Mine dont have hardly any paint on them and are really bringing down the appearance of the car. Any suggestions on what color paint to go with (black obviously) but low gloss, flat, metallic? Any other ideas?

Paint them. I have painted mine on both my Hondas and they look perfect. Just use flat black and it will work out fine

I used a flat black wheel paint on my wipers and they seemed to hold up alot better then when I used regular spray paint. Just a thought.
