    Which Type of Paint - Paint OEM Wipe Cowl

    I am getting my 90' Silverado back from paint/body in a week or so. The original wiper cowl in weathered and would look terrible if I just dropped it back on the pickup. Last summer, I gutted the interior and use SEM Color Coat to re-dye the plastic. I was skeptical but a year later, it still...
