Anyone have the same problem? Thinking about going to target and buying a can of krylon black paint to spray them. it cant look any worst than they do now with flaked off paint, right?

 

ive seen it happen before.. id say just get some black paint like you mentioned and re-spraying them. should hold up for a while.

 

Do i have to sand the wiper arms down or can i just degrease them and spray the paint on with a little bit of clear after the black dries?

 

last year i finally resprayed mine... the paint flaked up really bad. i had to break off and scrape and sand the paint that was left, and then i sprayed it with metal primer, wet sanded that smooth where the old paint underneath met the metal and created a groove. then primed again, wet sanded one last time, then sprayed with a nice gloss black, 2 coats, then 2 thin coats of clear. still looks good after a year !

I had the same problem when I first tried painting them with just a can of rustoleum and ended up having to re-sand them down again because the paint bubbled. I used primer before spraying the rustoleum on the 2nd round and they came out great.



They look so much nicer with a fresh coat of pain now.

 

props, much better job than what i did on my dd. i just sanded it down with the dremel then threw on a couple of vague coats of pot belly black. they are holding up fine, but its obviously not a glossy finish is all.
