wiper arm touch up paint

hello,

I have a couple rock chips on my passenger side wiper arm. does anyone know what touch up paint there is to touch up these chips so it won't rust?

I think the wiper arms are a black satin finish. I haven't had any luck finding non-spray cans in this finish. If I can get away without having to spray the entire arm that would be ideal.

I guess worst case I leave it until it rusts and then buy an entire new arm? bummer.

thanks for the input.

I just ordered (from tirerack.com) some G2 epoxy paint in gloss black for
my caliphers and since I'm sure I'll have some left over, was thinking about
applying it to my wiper arms. Should last like crazy being epoxy.
Forgot to add, this stuff is brush on, not spray.

Wiper arms are usually flat or satin to prevent glare...since they fade pretty fast, touch up might not be match too good...most folks just take the wipers off...mask them off, maybe do a quick sueface prep, and respray...can usually be done inplace...a very light coat, and it will look line new.
