I did this once, piece of piss.
Went to Auto 1, paid about 10 bucks for a spray pack of mat black and sprayed em.
I did a couple of coats so it would last a bit longer but in time it will still fade.
Just dont forget to cover the windscreen and bonnet.

yeah, easy as, like riggs sed just a can of mat or gloss black spray paint, also purchased a coat of clear for added life. However, i removed the wiper arms from my car b4 spraying em. gives a more even cover and makes for betta excessability (if thats even a word?)

i used to take mine off, hang them from a coathanger on the clothes line so u can get all around them evenly.

Just make sure u prep properly, prepwash,sandpaper and then spray!!!

yeah wat Kym said and use grease and wax cleaner before you spray. defently take them off its only one nut each so easier than masking up your whole front end
