Yea, mine are the same way, i just thought i would spray paint them but i guess not..

you shouldnt need high temp paint ... any black emamel paint works great ...

Why do you need to use high temp paint?

i thought i would need high temp. paint cuz it gets hot during the summer time where i live. I guess i'll use the regular spray paint.

I Also have another question. I have a 3rd gen. Camry after i take off the one bolt on each side of the wiper arms, should the arms come right off or is there another bolt holding them down?? alright Thanx in advance for any advice. :-? :-?

nope just the one bolt for each arm and it should come off with a little pull

If you bend the arm so it is like a "L" it comes off easier.

i might spray mine silver to match the car... could i use the "plastic paint" that i get to paint the grill and just use the paint from that to paint the wipers?
