Removing bumpers, door trims and parking sensors

Right, I have a bit of spare time next week and am going to get up to a bit of colour coding.. I was wondering if anybody knew where all the screws and fasteners are for the front and rear bumpers and the plastic trims along the bottom of the 4 doors are so I can remove them. Also to save removing the bumpers, can the parking sensors be removed without taking the bumper off? I know the rear is very tight. Any help would be great!

Not sure about anything else but I know the parking sensors can be sprayed without removing them so you can paint the whole thing.

Yes, I know sense tells you not to but my cousin has a body shop and they spray bumpers with them in as they checked with different manufacturers.

Could always use a thin smear of Vaseline or even washing up liquid over them to stop the overspray if you are worried. Sellotape is quite useful as cheap masking tape too 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

The problem by just spraying over them is 2 fold.

1). it reduces the range.
2). the paint will flake and crack as there is a joint there that will flex therefore I am going to remove the sensor paint over the hole and refit therefore making a better more professional looking job.

I agree if the jeep was any other colour I would paint the sensors body colour as well before refitting but black on black there is no point.

Just curious, where did you get those pictures from Question presumably a service manual of some sorts. I'd like to remove a few interior pieces, but without a good manual, I'm not too keen.
