touch-up paint for wiper arms?

PA135i · 01-23-2014, 09:35 AM

Because of the current weather we are having in the NE, ice formed on my wiper arms and when I broke off the ice .. paint went with it.

I guess I can order this online from tescher or United?

thanks

I don't even recall the wiper arm being color matched. Aren't they all black?

yes... it is black. But there are color codes for black. I just want to get the right black. Guess my dealer has the paint. Just wondered if anyone here has had this issue and had success with this touch up lasting.

I would just get a new set of wiper arms if you're looking to have them professionally painted- touching up such a large area is going to look bad. Otherwise, just remove them and spray them a uniform gloss. They aren't paint matched, so I don't get the overcomplication of the issue.

If you are going to paint them, use a Satin Black. Usually a pretty good match to OEM wiper arm paint.

Id buy a new one, but this stuff should do the trick. Used it on my crash bars on my Beemer recently.

And yes, I'm taking a dump
