Windshield Wiper Arm Repair and Removal

On My Acura Integra, my wiper arms were starting to have the Paint peel off revealing the shiny metal underneath in some parts, while other areas were regular OEM Black. I decided to paint them over with a new coat of Flat Black Paint using Duplicolor Paint.

To take off the wipers on my Integra, there was simply two 14mm nuts holding on the Wiper Arms at the base of the Wiper Arms. Once I removed the two nuts, you simply pry off the wiper arm. They were a little tight, but they come off. 

First steps are to give it a light sanding. Sanding the piece helps promote adhesion for painting so that your Paint job lasts. I used 320 grit sandpaper I had lying around. 

Once you complete sanding, make sure to wash and wipe off all loose sanding dust from the wiper arms. Some soapy water works well, and is what I used. After this is done, the wipers are ready to paint.

Final Coat was after I waited 10 minutes between my coats, as was instructed on the can, and I applied 3 coats of paint. 

After letting it dry for 1 hour (the can said to wait 1 hour), I installed them back onto the car. 

A great job indeed, and the Wiper Arms look like new with this paint job.
