Well, for the wipers, just get a full blade replacement. For the wiper arm, you can just use regular car/truck spray paint.

If you have some metal showing, you might want to use some black primer first, to help the paint stick a little better.

I used some kind of automotive bumper and trim paint, satin black. It turned out beautiful, not glossy, not flat, just nice smooth black paint. I got it at discount auto parts. If you want I can look and see what kind it was.

Normal black spray paint $1.5 did it for me. The wiper arm looks new. I didn't use the primer and it's been almost a year and no ill effect. 1-2 coats of black paint worked fine.

Thanks for all the replies...should make a quick project tomorrow. I think I'll go with the bumper and trim paint.
