Your painter should use a hi-build primer/filler, and it should smooth out the cowl texture. I'm pretty sure that's all my painter did..as I can still sometimes see a hint of the plastic grain in just the right light. Overall, it looks smooth though.
Otherwise, you could sand it down..you should be able to do that yourself, just go over the whole thing with a 220 grit or so sandpaper to knock the texture off.
As for the screen, pry it out, being careful to keep it intact. it's glued in many spots. After painting, use epoxy or a hot glue gun to resecure it.
The wipers are holding up fine. No complaints at all.
There's a chromed set for sale right now on the parts forum - that's the guy I bouht mine from.
