Trust me, I used the paint designed for plastic. Does my cowl look glass shiny?

Oh well. Its not peeling any so I'm not worried.

 

I haven't done the cowl yet (now I will) but I painted the plastic under the hood, looks a million times better than it used to.

 

i did this a couple weeks ago and didnt put my wipers back in the right grooves so now they only get like half of my windshield hahah

oops

 

So go move them! It takes all of 5 seconds!

A good trick for when you need to remove the arms is the take a masking tape and put a piece right under each wiper. That way you can put it back on exactly where it came off instead of the trial and error way. I had to take my wiper arms off one day and I didn't know this trick, and they ended up just about the same as yours sound haha. Then I heard about that trick after I had to guess where they say before I took them off haha

 

dont feel bad, if you look carefully at my finished photo, you may notice I put the wipers on THE WRONG SIDE!! they stayed like that for a good 2-3 weeks before it rained and I realized the wipeing pattern was totally backwards,

 

Thats a great writeup. I need to do this badly. How is everyone's paint holding up?

 

haha thats hilarious

i didnt notice how off it was til i left for school this semester

 

almost a year now and with a little dusting off she looks like i did it yesterday

 

Thats good to know. This is on the top of my to do list.

 

Im not getting this .
A little more explanation lol....

 

Where the wiper arm touches the windshield, put a line of tape on the windshield right under the arm. So when you remove it, you know the arm touches right where the tape is

 

Great writeup! Now I need ot go out and do mine because my cowling looks absolutely horrible.

 

Looks good, I did this last summer with Krylon Fusion gloss black, holds up like a champion without clear coat.
