hey tom, i think "arm" is the wrong word to use.. i'm not sure what he painted, but on mine i painted the part of the rear wiper with the spring on it... the part that's actually attached to the car.

as for the auto paint, i dont think the paint you're talking about (the body paint) would be good for the black areas between the door and rear quarter. I could be wrong, though.. but i wouldn't want it glossy by any means on my car. the original part may have been powdercoated. i'm not sure.

up here, a big spray can of custom paint costs about $20. I have the ability to get free paint, though.. a guy that helps run one of the area's biggest and oldest body shops is dating my older sister... he helps me out with anything i need.. it did wonders for my rockers when i fixed the rust hole and painted earlier this summer.. and it was a spot on match for my battery tray.
