Repainting windshield wipers (not the blades)

[Solitude]

I painted mine about 2 years ago.. I just taped the wipers off and painted them on the vehicle.

When you tape off.. you use masking tape and news paper and cover the car within about 3 feet of the blade.. on all sides.. and do not use the mil-spec rule.. the bigger the glob the better the job

good luck
p.s. I couldn't get my arms off the vx either so figured this wasn't an impossible way to go

I did mine about two years ago and they came right off without any difficulty. I went with a matte black after a light sanding and they still look good.

I painted mine last year with a Rust-Oleum Professional flat black paint. I prepped them with a Scotch Brite Pad (Very Fine-Type A red pad) and they look great!!

2 weekends ago, I did this.

Couldnt be easier.

step 1: put a piece of masking tape above the blade to mark the current position of the blade.

step 2: Remove rubber covers via flat head screw driver shimmy.

step 3: Remove bolts
--drivers side is easiest to remove with the hood open
--passenger side is easiest to remove with the hood closed

step 4:remove wipers
--push down on the spring joint while lifting up

step 5: remove blades

step 6:sand down wipers

step 7: spray paint with rustoleum flat black
--let dry

step 8: reverse steps 4, 3, 2, 1

NOTE: the drivers side wiper is shorter than the passenger side.

Results were superb.
