Faded windshield wipers
what paint can I use to refinish my windshield wipers? The black has faded and flaked off, so im guessing im going to need to sand off the old paint but im not sure what would be best to sand it with?

i just clean mine and paint them black. nothing to serious..... just take them off the car. tho it depends how flaked up they are.... if you want it to really last then sand them down to the shiny metal and then prime and paint. i redo mine every spring due to flaking!
if ya got alittle palm sander it will work right thru the paint in no time at all!
semi flat black is probably the color of choice.

i painted mine graphite grey to match the car and also clear coated them. however i now know why they were painted flat black cuz they glisten in the sunlight. keep that in mind if you paint them glossy.

most auto body shops use a can of trim black to all small pieces like that and if you get good paint you cant even tell you used a can, looks like new. yeah i wouldn't sand blast them, i would sand off the flaking stuff and blend in the older paint and they will look fine, thats what the auto body shop where i used to work would do
