Remove the arms and remove the blade assembly. Lightly sand, smooth and then paint with an automotive, satin black finish spray paint. Maybe even spray a light coat of clear or two. Might as well install new blades/arms as well.

Mine aren't beat up, but I just installed a newly finished windshield cowl so I want to give me wiper arms a nice touch up spray as well.

Black Epoxy paint is what I used. Works great. Dries to a nice satin finish and looks clean. Lays down easy.

Looks like we are all busy doing the little things during the crappy weather..

Here's a question for the group- were can you get wiper blade refills?

I would lightly sand to feather out the chips, and then paint with SEM trim black spray paint. It should provide an OEM look.
