Default silver wiper blades

im in the middle of painting the black sections on the outside of the car,iv done the mirror sections, the rear door surround and im now giving my boot garnish a clear coat to try to bring it up a bit glossier. im just wondering tho with the wipers if i should leave the blade holders silver (i painted them silver a while back) or do them black again. i kinda like the silver but im interested in other peoples opinions.

you can see what i mean in this photo:


cheers
braden

Make 'em black. They look like John Howard's eyebrows currently :P

The rest of the car looks sweet.

If you want something different, paint them the colour of the car.

Im leaning towards rag tops idea, same color of the car would look good.

Also hybrid, there is a thread about how to do it, just search bradens name and scroll through his topics.
