Default Painted Parking Sensor Brackets?

I've noticed on some trim levels that the parking sensor bracket that retains the sensor in the bumper is painted to match the truck body color. Can you purchase them painted? Looking for them in Velocity Blue, but can only find black. If you know the trick, please let me know. TIA

That means its paint to match

I was able to find some door trim pieces for my mustang painted on ebay.. Maybe you'll have similar luck?

They've been unpainted in every vehicle that I've owned that had them, and I think that's for a reason. They're essentially small sonar transceivers, and painting over them may interfere with the signal.

I'm not talking about the sensor itself. I'm asking about the plastic surround mounting bracket.

I've always just gotten them PTM and sprayed them with a touchup match. Always looks good.
