Wiper Arm Restoration

[rklewis1005]

70 Charger. Has anyone found a good matching paint for the wiper arms. I would think Matte Grey w/hint of darker color for the main arm. The base where it attaches to the pivot is a light grey (easier to match).

When I clean them up, they look shiney and I don't think the glare would be good. New ones are $33/ea at AMD. Maybe it's simpler to replace.

Anyone paint / restore theirs?

Pic for reference - cleaned the left one.

I cleaned mine with a very light media blast with glass bead. It maintains the matte finish and probably will fix the one you cleaned.

I’d just put a want ad looking for a pair of clean ones. There’s plenty out there.

Aren't they stainless steel? I don't think they were painted, just polish them up. Your left one looks nice.

70 should be a dull finish and restored as per Floyd's directions.

@Floyd thanks - it's working out good and I like the finish A little more work and they'll be done Should I coat them with metal protection/polish?

I can’t recall what exactly I did, but I might have sprayed and rubbed down with Boeshields.

@dadsbee appreciated you chiming in to confirm. I've been through your restoration thread here, but can't seem to get to the one on DC forum.
