has anybody ever sand blasted there wiper arms to expose the chrome finish inderneath the black paint? my black paint is almost coming off and was just wondering if anyone has done it. my buddy has a sand blaster.

 

I've thought about it... should work.

 

yea, i did mine. they look great, nice and clean. just spay some clear coat on em when your done. and while i was at it, i painted my wiper crowl plastic thing body color, it made a difference. it stands out now.

 

Keep them black like the cowl. They hide better when their nice and black.
Sand them down and spary them with Trim Black.

 

i would think sand blasting would pit them

 

How do they come off? I undid the bolt on the arm but they wont come off. Any suggestions?

 

Thats what I wanna know

 

That chrome blinds me. Time to spray paint them again.

 

Hi..........just wanna put in my 2 cents.......................my black was fading and the chrome was starting to show............at some angles the sun would hit it and come back and blind me...........so i painted it black............i didnt know how to get it off so i just taped around arm with a bunch of news paper............not the best method but the blinding was getting to me and i needed a really quick fix.........not terribly bad though

 

To get your wiper arms off easily, just take the nut off then push the arm down, twards the glass a few times at the pivot joint. That will put reverse pressure on the spline shaft and release the wiper arm from it. The arm is spring loaded twards the glass. You have to release that pressure and it pops off the shaft.

Works instantly every time.

 

haha awesome man i could never figure the **** out but i wanted to move my wiper blades down a little bit so they were out of the way when turned off.
SCHWEET

 

this should totally be added to the how to sticky in here. Good tip =]

 

Another tip:

Mark where the wipers are on the windsheild before you take them off. Otherwise you can spend a lot of time trying to get them back in the proper place

 

just repaint them black , and it does hide the arms better in black.
