okay not the replacable blade part, but the part that is part of the car.
1) how do i remove those to paint them, and
2) what kind of spray?clear coat too? it is metal underneath (see pic)

just did that on a 97 eclipse
i removed the wiper blade covered the car so paint wont get on it and just sanded the metal a bit and sprayed it down with black paint i got from the local paint store PPG like 10 bucks -
you wouldnt need to remove the whole blade just tape off the area and spray.. the paint will dry within 5 min

spray paint will last about 6-8 months. I spray painted mine on the Civic and they looked good till they started to chip again. But it only takes like 5 minutes.

Ok I'm having that same problem is, I popped my hood and I see the bolts that connect to the wipers, but with all my tools I still can't get them bitches off. Should I take it to a shop like AutoZone or what. Do any of you have any suggestions. ~PeacE~

Remove the bolts & spray penatrating oil. Then wiggle off
