APC euro wiper blades come with RED BLUE and YELLOW wiper blade refils. I Have a single wiper like the touring cars and I have painted the arm red to match the entire car.

I am actually in the middle of painting my wiper arms silver. It's taking alot longer then I thought it would. I had to Primer it twice, 3 coats on top and 1 coat on bottom of the silver and am about to start applying the clear coat shortly. Will probably do 2 clear coats on top and 1 coat on bottom. The only thing you need to be aware of is that the the paint you get, may show a color mismatch on the part of the arms that connect to the bolt end possibly due to the material. I don't know why but mine looks slightly off because the paint has something in it to make it match old paint possibly. This is turning into a 12 hour paint job but it's cheap easy and definately worthwhile. Make sure you have some 400 grade sandpaper just in case you overspray the primer or have some rough paint to take care of. Also before you do the Primer, wipe the arm down with Acitone or Turpentine to clean it up and don't forget to shake the spray paint for 2 minutes each time before use and make sure your spray nozzle doesn't get clogged up.<p>[ March 08, 2003: Message edited by: Gkreator ]</p>
