Any ideas?
I recently took delivery of a new Speedster built by Vintage Speedsters but they only provide black painted windshield wiper arms and blades for their cars. I would like to spruce up the car a bit more; therefore, does anyone know of a good source for some chrome plated windshield wiper arms and blades that will fit?
Thank you,
Cliff

The originals were painted silver. Just rattle can the ones you have. I did it 10 years ago, they still look great - and original.
I sincerely appreciate the tip Terry.
Thank you.

First wipe off all metal , a damp rag with lacquer thinner . Use a green Scuffy Pad to remove any gloss and give the new paint something to bite into. You can just tape off the rubber blades. You'll want to use a bland argent silver for the wipers ...2 coats.

Alan and Marty,
Your additional information about Silver Argent paint is also very much appreciated.

Here is the one I used, Ford argent silver. Different supplier than Marty ... VTM ford Argent Silver Sap-188, found at any Autozone, 8$... Easier for me to find than the Eastwood brand and a little cheaper... At my local store TH they sold for 6$.
