The figure gives an example of the protective rings -1- already placed in the correct position on the sensors -4-.
Place the covering rings -2- on the rubber membranes of the sensors -3-.
Paint the sensors -3- and -4- evenly and not too thickly, in the same colour as the car.
Remove the covering rings -1- and -2- carefully directly after painting (while the paint is still wet) using tweezers
and let the paint dry.
Note
The protective rings -1- and -2- must be placed on the sensors -3- and -4- before any painting is carried out.
Repaint as necessary after drying (e.g. clear lacquer for twin coat painting).
