Oops, I got rice wipers

[Melt]

Anyways, I was prepping my car for saturdays meet, wash wax, the whole bit when I noticed some chipping on my wiper blades, so I decided to sand em and repaint em. Me not paying attention to the cap color of my spray can, I ended up with "midnight blue" wiper blades rather than black ones. Looks pretty damn good but doesnt match anything at all ... I guess ill redo em this weekend once sun has baked the paint on and I can resand

No offense to anyone who has painted wiper blades ... I think it looks good if it matches the general theme of your car, but in this instance it doesent match mine.

And I know the word rice has gotten me in a lot of trouble in the past, but I think since I am talking about my own car here I will be aight

I know how it goes, my wipers are painted chameleon because I didn't look at 'em before I bought 'em. I'll get around to paintin' 'em flat black at some point.

one of these days melt...you and i need to talk communication break down is a bitch!

it's not the word rice. let me try and put it this way. it's when you direct it a 1 person or 1 car specifically....when it is used to describe a type of person or a style of modification specifically that it's frowned on.

bad example: that car is a ricer
good example: i was hit up to race by Ricer-X


to be honest..you have come along way in the way you conduct yourself. but that is stuff that will be handled in an im.


until then....:finger: heres a flip for the fun of it

Hehe, now im rolling uniwiper style cause I knew if I tried to put the left one on in the dark also I would end up scratching it.

Ill put em both on tommorow.

Glad you shared that with us!

Jk, the ricey paintjob isn't as bad as the 'uni-wiper', man I hate those.

[eklipz]

Oh shit! I just posted about a uni-wiper being even more stupid and you go and do it! Dammit Melt when will you learn!!

For emergencies like these i keep a can of flat black in the garage.

I was gonna get a new pair of wipers that were silver, but then i saw a riced out toyota corola with all the APC stickers on it, so i put them back, and got different ones.

Ill pick up some black on the way home today .. I think we still have some at my house, but it cant possibly be much.
