If you want a cheap match....use Rustoleum Satin Black.....Krylon Satin Black is also a good math....Rusoleum will last longer but goes on a little thicker....Krylon lays down better but is not as durable....but its not like you cant redo it every could years.

powdercoat for durability

Were these originally anodized? Mine is faded but kinda has that look, sorta like the doorhandles. (Not that I would even consider anodizing something like this)

rusto #7777 SATIN BLACK

Anyone else have a not-so-bright PO who tried to wax it and then let the wax dry in the crevices? It looked like a used cheese grater-brilliant...

If you want a paint that will perfectly match other areas of the windshield, such as the satin finish on the wiper arms, I recommend the SEM Trim Black, Part # 39143. You can find it at any United Auto Parts store, there may be others that stock it as well.

+1 on powdercoat. I bought epoxy satin black p.c. Did the grill, and wiper arms. Came out great. Extreemly durable and permanent. Don't have to worry about touch up in a year or two.
