Recently painted the wiper cowl trim, its screws, along with polishing the plastic washers...painted the wiper arms at the same time, using the same color, which is the "bumper trim and paint" rattle can. Came out pretty nice, least the cowl trim and one of the arms. The second arm strangely was still a little tacky after 2 weeks. Have painted many things over many years and never had this happen before. Basically have to sand them and repaint again. As I was doing so, came to the realization they are probably too shiny...not a gloss black, same time not close to flat either.
- Question #1: Are the factory arms supposed to flat black? Can see the underside and it appears so, just can't recall if the exposed portions you see were same shade though. Not looking for concours resto match, only it would be nice to have them close to what they are supposed to be.
- Question #2: The winglet (not sure the term) that attaches to the wiper...is that supposed to be on the driver's side only, or also the passenger side? Asking because both wiper arms have the accommodation to have one but mine only has the driver side.
