I have managed to get a set of Mk4 Golf aero wiper arms off fleabay for a good price, but they both need a bit of paint-one of them look as if it has been rubbing on something by the base, and is back to bare metal. I have contacted the seller, and he has said that I can send them back, but *reckoned* they were in good condition! Deciding to keep them now, so although a simple job I`m sure, what is the best way to go about this? I reckon a sanding down, and a satin black spray can would suffice? Would I need any laquer at all(guess not) Just seen Hammerite do a satin black spray can, would this be any better at keeping any rust at bay? Thanks in advance

Rub them down with some fine wet or dry paper, acid etch prime and spray with satin black. I have found in the past that Hammerite reacts with normal spray paint.

I have found when I did some wiper blades the paint tended to flake off at the ends the wiper blades slide onto.

Ok, I will equipe myself with some fine sand paper, acid etch primer, some satin black(not hammerite) paint, and set to work this weekend. Cheers

Just thought I`d pop back in and say that I have resprayed the arms, easy enough job really and they look superb on! I was very happy with how they turned out, proper Mk4 arms really are the way to go, look so much better
