The paint is chipping off my windshield wiper arms and I was wondering how do I take them off to paint them again? Also what kind of pain should I use? I had someone paint them for me about 6 months ago and now its just happening again. What kind of paint would last longer?

 

first remove the whole wiper arm, if memory serves me correctly it is a 12mm. then remove the wiper blade, and you are almost ready to paint. first sand down the wiper arm and clean thoroughly. i recommend using the DupliColor enamel paint to paint them with. hth and good luck

 

Good thread...Ive had this problem with my wipers too...is that paint you suggested spraypaint???

 

i tried to take em off...didnt happen. I just maksed it all off and taped it up w/ painters tape...no probs at all

 

I used Krylon, and haven't had a problem yet. I'd recommend that you prime and sand them though, because you can see the indentations where the paint was chipping.

Where do I get DupliColor paint?

 

Pepboys, Autozone, Sears, Home Depot... Everybody will have something similar to it.
