Evening all

I've got a sport kit for my mondeo but currently the standard parking sensors are grey plastic and fit along the bottom of the bumper in some grey plastic trim. The sensors will fit in the new rear valance in a body coloured section so will need to be colour coded. Is it possible to paint parking sensors? I have seen lots of colour coded ones in the past (the front ones are colour coded) but don't know if they need a special type of paint or a different sort of sensor etc. I've had a good look around on the www and got lots of conflicting advice!

Thanks in advance

Surely it will be ok to paint them. Ive fitted loads of colour coded sensors in the past.

Halfrauds used to fit them and would paint them for you too. Just a thin coat of paint on them I'd have thought

Cheers guys, will stick a light lick of paint on them and see what happens.

Yeah, light coat of paint is the norm.

factory ones you can only paint twice before theres two much paint on them to work

Ginge !

get paint from ford, use a old number plate and drill hole and dust sensor, leave for 30 mins the dust with the laquer and compound in 2 weeks after fitting if needed

as said we do at work all the time apart from 2 week polish but they come out ok not to need it

paint them as many times as you like we look after a merc thats had a colour change from silver to pearlescent white then to straight white and sensors have been primed everytime too and still work fine
