Don't really have to line anything up, I just try to get it as low as possible without it hitting the base of the windshield. But I would suggest doing one arm at a time (you might get confused on which arm goes where when you take both off at the same time).

 

powder coat them?! holy crap i've never heard of anyone powder coating their wiper arms hahahaha

just pull em off, grab some decent grit sand paper, prolly like a 150 grit, sand em pretty good, and use regular primer, or like a rustoleom primer(primer more for metals) and then use any kind of flat black paint you want, and shoot some clear over it. the clear will protect the paint and will take the abuse of hard winters. no need for any high temp paint or anything... how hot do your wiper arms get? :eh:

 

Sandblasting aluminum is bad. :down:

 

Ive seen VC sand blasted and cleaned well and there good of course they were CR vtec VC but still lol

and as for the wiper arms. wet sand with 400 then 600 grit. Clean and clean... after cleaning spray with choice of paint. Let it sit until paint has properly cured. Spray more coats as need or however much as you want. Last step i see as an option. Clear coat. Persoanlly i think clear coating it would add a gloss finish to it which i wouldnt want on my wiper arms. Course you might want them lol

 

is there a website that shows you how to take the arms off?

 

you just press at the joint, and unscrew the nut ??

just curious, shouldn't this be in the DIY section??

 

yeah, i was searching the DIY section first but had no luck, so i searched all and came up with this, I'd like to see it moved

 

i sandblasted and painted mine.......paint took to it really well and looks great.....no problems so far.

 

:thumbup: Thats what I used.

 

The paint will just come off again & again!

I powder coated mine & they look awsome!
