Can I paint over my 3rd gen TSS sensor?

hello TW, first post for me. Just got my first taco last week. Looking to paint the grille and possibly black it all out. Or should I leave the emblem because of the sensor?? Also what matte black paint would you recommend ? Thank you

 

It’ll throw a code and you’ll have a warning light on your gauge cluster. Mud and sand cover the sensor enough for your warning light to come on so without a doubt painting over it will do the same.

 

Not sure why it would matter. Pro garnish is not see through. I painted my grill using Dupli-Color "trim and bumper" paint.

 

I thought the 18 garnish was a clear lexan type material?

 

Looks like it from the front, but solid on back. I thought it was see through at first too... Cosmetic only.
