small change but big difference

hehe... sorrie if i made it sound like a big deal but wanted to share my satisfaction. I know that whenever i put up pics of my ride on this board, you all said to paint my wipers... so i finally did...

used these...

and here is before vs. after

although very minor, much better... don't you agree?

I picked it up at pepboys while i was gettin some wax applicator pads. You can find similar products at any auto parts store... like i know kragens carries alot of duplicolor products. They have some stuff made for trim panels and wipers n such too. The paint i used was obviously labeled for use on such parts so it was perfect. Not completely flat black or too glossy... i'd say a semi-gloss satin black finish is how it looks up close.

EDIT: If you're in so cal... you can use my spray cans if ya want... i only bought em for this purpose and have almost the entire cans left.

You should post close ups. Those pics are too far away to see the detail.

3 bucks and 20 minutes of my time, figured it was worth it if the paint lasts a little longer.
