Corroded wiper arms

[TimS320]

Just wondering if anyone has tried cleaning up and painting the corroded windscreen wiper arms? I’ve seen a few looking poor and mine definately let the car down. These things don’t seem to last long anymore before the alu rust comes through. But might clean up ok. Otherwise it’s a lot to spend on a new pair.

Done it on a JEEP I had a few years back. Rub down with 600 grade and a quick respray with satin black. Looked fine and lasted a few years until I sold it.

Videos in Utube about it.  Looks easy enough.

I've been thinking about the same on my car.  Wiper arms showing patches where colour has come off.  Although will I ever be bothered enough..

Removing the arms itself is a doddle.  Had to adjust them when I bought the car since they weren't wiping in the right range on the windscreen.

I must say, though, I don't see any rust as such on the arms.
