When i worked at a main ford dealers, they used to fit them, then just mask and spray them, so should be ok.  :y

mask off the bumper surrounding the sensor and spray the sensor, or use a touch up pen thingy to colour it...

You can paint them before you put them in, i thought you had already installed them, if not yeah do it whilst they are in, the choice is yours,
