my cars wiper cowl vent cover has seen better days and is very sun faded no cracks however.. I have tried to used forever black bumper and trim paint kit but I didn't have much success with it overall def looks way better but I want it to look better. I was thinking before I go and spend over $200 on a new one I would try to take mine off and than prime and paint it and see how that comes out first.. I already bought the sem trim paint from LMR and just need to get a primer at a autoparts store and attempt to paint it.. can anyone give me any tips on how to remove the wiper cowl vent cover ? I have never removed mine at all just the wiper arms and blades I changed.. thank you all for any info and tips.. and if anyone has any pics of there wiper cowls painted would be great.... I think $225 is crazy expensive for that piece.. figures only 94-98 would be priced the highest my luck... thank you all again..

Grave digging, I know...

What worked well for me was Turtle Wax Trim Restore. Obviously, if it's almost white, it doesn't work very well. When I bought stang back in September, I put it in storage and coated the cowl with the stuff. Each week when I stop by the storage unit to fire it up, the cowl is still a deep black.
