Looks like spring is here and the busiest time for the car so first since I can't get an answer in the body section Ill ask here.
First I need to take off, sand down and paint my wiper arms they looks horrible and the sooner the better, but what kind of black spray paint should I use and what grit sandpaper.
Also I need to re-paint the ugly chipped chrome window seals that looks so gross and noticeable chipped and need all the tips I can on the type of spray paint and sandpaper please.
Ugh to name more I need to put on my summer wheels(the best part), but have to repaint my ugly rear drums black since they are all rusted again(someday I will do a rear disk conversion, but Im a car noob and not down my ally.) and repaint my front calipers red to match the car.
Also have to get key marks repaired on my passenger side because punks think that is cool to do up here and it's deep to the metal so my friend gave me a price range of about $200-300 repair; boy can't wait to fork that much up.
Then finally once that is all done and I start working in the summer Ill be getting the first part of my suspension including the FF Type 1 Coilovers and the Skunk 2 LCA's WOOO!

I AGREE!
I did this on my back window from my del sol.
I Just used a black spray can i had laying around. worked pretty good.
But I remember seeing a thread where they used a type of spray can that was like plastic with the same texture as the original, or something like that lol.
here's quick one's I found

Yeah seems to be a pretty easy job. Just have to use a razor and get the rest of the black off, sand down all the chrome and I found most people use a trim paint which is like factory black and that should be all it needs and hard to believe how good it makes your car look.
