skippyboyo1 Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 I've looked in to powder coating but in the past with items I've had done that have a joint in them like the wiper they don't last. Are you happy with yours? How long since you had them done? - - - Updated - - - Wipers are about £100 each. Wowsers!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 they look perfect. they have not been fitted yet the car has been in bits for for 6 months but I would assume they will last my last 2 supras had rattle can sprayed wipers and they never gave any problems.

Rich.2211 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 As above, get them painted in satin black Will look completely OEM. You can do your scuttle panel too if it's faded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anto Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 As above, get them painted in satin black Will look completely OEM. You can do your scuttle panel too if it's faded. +1 on this. Real easy job to do the wipers and scuttle panel (mine was almost more white than black). Makes a huge improvement.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on earth did you prep it? Would be a right job to do properly that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure people will scoff at what I'm about to say but literally all I did was clean & degrease it thoroughly then satin blacked it. No plastic primer, no keying, absolutely nothing and it came out perfect. I hit it with an industrial pressure washer regularly and it's still as good as when I painted it 1 year ago, no paint flaking or anything like that - looks OEM. Much easier than trying to dress it with trim dressing. Obviously I removed the scuttle panel to do the painting, otherwise that would make a right mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
