Afternoon all,

The paint is flaking off one of my rear parking sensors (the black one in the valence rather than a car-colour painted one if that makes sense).

AM highlighted this at the MOT and offered to replace the sensor for £350 for me. I have declined.

I would rather give it a dusting of spray paint since it is unsightly.

Any ideas what colour it to use? It is black, but which one... I would mask up and spray it in place, rear bumper removal is a large job (probably why the high replacement cost from AM).

Photo coming when the car returns from AM.

Thanks.

Thanks all.

The sensor works and obvs what I don’t want to do is kill it with paint. I painted some on a golf (silver) 20 years ago and they were fine.

I will spray some matt black on a random bit of plastic and hold it next to the sensor, if it is terrible I will buy another brand.

Thank you.

I will give those a try! We do love PowerfulUK, especially their videos. My new Defender has much of their stuff screwed to it :-)
