Re: slow wipers
My first guess is that due to the paint a good ground is not present. Check the voltage going into the wiper motor and see what that is. Second guess is that the linkage is somehow binding.

Re: slow wipers
I have an '80 to and just replaced my wiper motor, they are now slow and they get stuck in the half way position all the time. I have lubed the linkage, even made sure the joints were not to tight, still have the problem.

Re: slow wipers
I'm with slofarmtruck on this, with this I might add, did any paint get inside the wiper motor or into the harnace plug where it connects to the wiper motor? jim
