Car Paint

[ucsdguy]

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you knew a paint that would adhere to metal well. I have an older car and I wanted to paint the windshield wipers black since they have been withered away to a rather annoying silver. Anyone know of a paint that can do the job? Thanks 🙂

Just get some new wipers.

Hrmm... It sounds as if you need some sort of paint.... that can be dispersed through some kind of aerosol type aparatus... Like a spray. Yes, some sort of paintspray. I don't think they make anything like that though. Sorry. 🙁

Well I would just buy some new wipers, but its not the blades, its the actual arms. I'd rather just paint them. And yes, I realize I need spray paint :roll:, but I was wondering the type. I don't know what kind of paint would be the best to adhere.

If only there were some kind of store that only carried items and pieces important to cars.... Like a place that sold those things. Some kind of... shop... Like a store of auto parts... Damn, again, I'm no help. 🙁

It really doesn't matter since they're windshield wipers. Just disassemble from the car, clean, spray, let dry, apply additional coats if necessary, and reinstall.

If you want to be real hard core use some POR 15

Thanks guys, I'll just grab some auto paint and see how well it works. Just thought it wouldn't hurt to see if anyone had any hints.
