Default Painting the wiper assembly ???

I never really thought about it, untill just now, but, would it look stupid to paint the wiper assembly to match the exterior? Not sure if anyones done it, and if it it looks wierd or not.

Also, you wouldent have to paint it like the rest of the exterior would you? or, would you? (I've never painted an exterior anyway.. so just asking.)

I would just get a can of black trim accessory paint. You can find it at any car store. Just lay some sheet paper below the wiper assembly and spray away. Just like new ;D

Agree, don't get into that spray paint BS, it won't coat crap, and it peels off in a few weeks. You can purchase new brackets and etc, at alot of part stores, but the physical arm itself will probably be cheaper to paint yourself.

+1 . DONT paint them any color then black. It makes your car look so cheap IMO. I got a little chip in mine. Going to do it when it warms up. Black. A little scruff and Rust paint works great.
