Correct paint finish for front windshield wipers arms and cowl??
The paint on my ws wiper arms and cowl is faded to the point that I can't tell what type of original factory (black) paint finish they had. Did they come painted in flat, semi-glossy or glossy black from the factory?? What about the Cowl??
I have brochures/books that seem to indicate the components came with a glossy black factory finish. But in other photos they seem to have a flat black finish.
Anyone have info on the correct factory finish??
Thanks for any advise or assistance.

Ex fd *****
My replacement wiper came Flat Black - The cowl vent-grill piece is unpainted black plastic - I would use flat or semi-gloss black bumper/trim paint on it - I use Plasticote Flexible Bumper & Trim paint, Semi Gloss black on the black trim pieces. I also use it on the interior black plastics as it is a close color/sheen match for the OEM "Soft Finish" rubberized finish used in the 93 fd's

Same here. Mine appear to be semi-gloss, but they may have some paint protectant on them which would change it slightly.
