svarog Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Hello my windshield wiper arms paint is etched away on the edge and it makes the car look old. I think replacing it would be very hard and pointless, so I want to paint it. Is that realistic, what kind of paint should I use, I want it to be quality not just spray painted. Here is a picture. It looks kind of like camera flash but its not and I could not get better shot. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance ← the wipers are easy to remove. i dit it myself when i cleaned the cowl area out.(leaves had collected). lightly sand the wipers with some 400, then 600 grit papers. spray a coat of paint on thinly, let dry. sand with 1000 grit, respray. use a satin black paint.

SKperformance Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 The easiest way is to remove the wiper blade, then place newspaper under the arm and spray it with tremclad satin or matt finish or glossy if desired. Scuf it with an sos pads for additional adhesion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
