I have bought a replacement Park Distance Control sensor but it's the wrong colour (new from ebay). What do i need to do to paint it? Can i spray over the original paint or do i rough it up?

Or shall i just get a touch up kit and brush it on???

Any advice appreciated

Thanks
Dan

EDIT: will anything i do to it affect the operation of it? or will it be ok?

great timing.

ive just got mine sprayed at the shop with my new bumper.

it works fine being sprayed with 2k with lacquer as normal.

and works ok no issues at all.

mine is the e60 2005

I got one the wrong colour but brand new. Shall i just go straight over the original paint?
