Potential Stupid Question Alert: Painted ABS Sensor Wire

[BettaRanga]

I’m not sure why Ford opted for the white ABS sensor wire on the driver’s side.

I noticed it before the front level, but now that the front level is done, the white cable stands out more than before.

This may be a stupid question, but is there any potential issue painting the white visible portion of this cable black? Is there a certain type of paint that would be best to use or avoid?

No issues painting it. I'd just get a Krylon rattle can and hit it with that.

Or put a short piece of black wire wrap over it.

You have a few options, but that is a weird selection from stock.

Flex seal black tape. Once and done.

Cut it off...replace it with a stainless braided cable...

Maybe I’ll just cut it off and leave it that way

Hide is with a damper. Those are black.

The more I think of it why not just a piece of black plastic tubing? Make a slit down the side and slip it on and a couple pieces of black electrical tape to hold it and you're done.

I'd prefer black plastic tubing. It will provide additional protection as well.

I got into a serious pickle last year when a tree branch decided to poke a hole in my brake line.

Nah!

This is a power to change the things I can sort of problem. Should be an easy one at that. I’ll take it!
