Well mine is a earlier 1977 so that could be why.

Courtesy Nissan just shows '70-76 as silver, and '77-78 as black. But the actual change may not be that cut and dried.

Thats just the Wiper Blade Assembly there showing. I'm refering to the arms that the blade assembly connects to.

Yes, the arms on my 6/70 are matte stainless.

FWIW, the wiper arms on my 8/74 260Z were silver.

Just to throw a spanner in the works, wipers for a 240ZG were black.

People that drive Mazdas shouldn't throw spanners

This one in Alan T's gallery has the silver colored ones: http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=1131&cat=3070

Thanks, Alfa I remember that thread now. Interesting. Makes sense I guess. I like the silver arms because they match the rest of the silver/stainless bits on my car and they look more retro to me with so many cars with black ones nowadays. I have sets in both silver and black, but will use the unpainted ones.
