Default wiper arms

has anyone repainted their windshield wiper arms? mine are peeling and looking like crap. i dont want to do anything special with them, just strip them and repaint them with a factory appearing paint. what did you use to renew yours?

sand them down with 1500, then hit them with clear again, that is if the black isn't coming off.. Other wise, prep them good, shoot them black, then clear.. After you get them done keep them waxed
