thank you all for you advice

i've done them now and i'm pleased with the result -

in the end i used enamel modeling paint - metallic silver mixed with dark satin grey about 3 to 1 means its very close - i used the colour of a spare plastic washer nozzle/wiper blade holder as a guide - the original colour of the arms was lost years ago due to weathering hence my query - i played safe and didn't disturb the plastic parts as these can break (past experience) - and rubbed them down in situ

looking at the picture [link posted above] of the 940 saloon the original colour looks like its the same as those wheel trims - on the parts diagram i think that code is 931 dark silver metallic - they also list a grey lacquer (top coat) that goes over it - maybe some paint experts out there can confirm this

thanks
ian.
