    I painted mine with a gloss black and I think it looks a lot better than the original paint. Good job.

    i repainted mine recently also. I sanded it and used clear adhesion primer on it then painted it with trim paint. The wipers look original again. Good job Rick.

    I painted mine a dull black and prefer it over gloss personally.

    I used trim paint which is like semi-flat black. Looks like OEM to me.
