1. JonDerrick Says: I will be receiving a 1996 Mazda protégé in 1 year when I turn 15. The wiper arms are all rusted and bad looking. How can I paint them to look a glossy black and look smooth?
Thanks in advance.
2. Pete M Says: Get a sheet of #320 grit sandpaper, a spray can of primer and a spray can of gloss black.

Remove the wiper arms from the car.

Sand the surfaces carefully, making sure to remove all loose paint.

Prime by shooting each arm with a single coat of primer, wait an hour and repeat for a total of three coats of primer. (Spray, wait an hour, then repeat)

Let the arms dry overnight and spray each with a single coat of gloss black, wait an hour, and repeat for a total of three coats.

Let dry thoroughly and reinstall the wiper arms.
