When the front and rear wiper arms get dull, what kind of black paint is best, to repaint and renew my wipers? Right now, they are starting to dull a bit on my 2002 Liberty. Thanks.

This might be overkill, but I'd see if they can be powder coated.

powder coat yes that would be OVERKILL, :lol: just sand down primer them then shoot with some semi gloss black, cheap effective and will last a few more years

Hey! You'd never have to repaint them again! :D

Personally, I'd still consider it

use SEM TRIM BLACK after a light wet sanding... ( krylon and rustoleum are not designed for this ). they will look brand new and this paint is designed to last... i have used it for all exterior black pieces on all my vehicles. u should be able to get it at any automotive paint supply store. about 10.00 a can and worth every penny!!!! can also find it on ebay sometimes.. hope this helps!!!!
