OT. BMW PDC sensor painting
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?
