Why so? Is painting PDC sensors usually a no no? I didn't even ask them to do it, when I picked up the car they just said "We've painted your PDC sensors too, looks much better than having black bits stuck out of your painted bumper."

I never even gave it any thought that it may cause problems.

Fact is,paint on the PDC inner circle can cause it to malfunction!
