I used VHT High Temp paint on them a while ago and it's held up fine.

Dupli-Color High Temp (flat black) paint worked best. Don't even need to clearcoat it. Just do about three coats or so would suffice.

**NOTE**

When it comes to the area where the wiper blades attach to the arm, make sure that you paint it sparingly or not paint it at all. Try to mask that area if it doesn't need it. If you apply to many coats, it'll be really difficult to reattach the wiper blade assembly to the arm.
