Paint chip on wiper

Weirdest thing, I think I have a paint chip on one of my windshield wiper arms. Is there a paint code for wiper black (dealer doesn't know)? I don't want to run the risk of making the repair stand out but I suppose filling it with primer then use a black permanent marker (or a drop of black paint that's close to matte)?

Paint code for wiper black? lol


If you are really serious, just use a sharpie or matte black touch up paint… It's just a wiper, dude.

If I could I would've wrapped the whole car instead of just the hood and bumper. I try to fix every little thing before it becomes a pita or an eyesore. The dealer thought all wipers are unprinted black metal -like wrought iron.

I haven't done this on my BRZ, but I repainted the windshield wiper arms on my SC400 a couple years ago. They were fairly chipped up after 14 years. I pulled them off, cleaned them up, and painted them with some spray paint from Walmart. Looked good as new.

If you're that worried about it I'd just get a new one…
