Can painted lower grille affect ACC?

[ajavadov]

I am planning to paint my lower OEM grille on my 2019 mustang gt. Will it cause any errors on my ACC? I know that it locates on driver side, but I don't know if my ACC will work with painted lower grille. Did someone painted it? How it looks? And did you have any problems with your ACC about that?

I will take a guess and say no. the density is probably just the moldings. paint is so thin compared to a thick piece of plastic.

A few mils of paint is unlikely to impact its function. You may want to get calibration completed if it operates with any changes. When I write estimates we are required to calibrate if the sensor is moved or shifted at all in the repair process

I'd tape off the sensors sometimes they can be very sensitive to anything on them.

Is there any sensors on lower grille? Or is it just that square shaped on driver side?

Sonar is behind the grill, it us that square block. So swapping the grill should have no impact on it

No paint is very unlikely to impact functionality
