Payco Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Gun metal will look awful. You would be better wrapping them !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfa_owner Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Does anyone fancy doing mine for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I did mine on the Celica it's pretty straight forward with rattle cans. Unbolt the wiper arm, remove the wiper, sand down, prime and spray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfa_owner Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Just not sure I've got the patience to sort them... Really struggling with progression at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fellsteruk Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 It’s possible, it’s the easiest job to do yourself and doesn’t take too long but obviously the more time you take the better the end result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortPaul Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Just take them to a body shop mate probably won't charge much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashback Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 or a wheel refurbisher.. although by the time you pay for that you might be better just buying new arms off one of the traders. It really is an easy job. Sand off with wet and dry (whilst wet), clean arms and let dry. Prime wait 20 mins prime again Let dry and go watch the tv Spray with matt black, wait 20 mins spray again Let dry and go watch the tv Turn over and spray the back Let dry and go watch the tv Refit Simples 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich350z Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Hey Fellsteruk, thanks for the guide.....it enabled a completely inept person like me to successfully respray his wiper arms :-) to this: Not perfect as there are slight ridges where I obviously didn't sand the pain back enough in all areas, but other than that I am really happy with it.....you can't notice the imperfections unless you are stood less than a metre away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
