Mask off and apply a satin black spray paint

Was it satin black? Primer? Any wet sand prep?

Took a light scotch pad to it first to roughy it up. Then laid 2-3 coats of satin black paint. Think it was Rust-Oleum last time I did it. Worked out great. Works awesome for the front wiper arms and lower cowl piece.

After sanding with the scotch pad I'd wipe it down with a prepaint wipe of some sort

Yeah you want to try and degrease this area. Years of who knows what kind of wax, tree sap or whatever elements are in there.

I have something that I use for powder coating that will take off everything. This spot has bugged me for far too long.
