RustyRodder Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Looking for a non-rusty tailgate handle for my Jeep- its almost out of paint, and the new bodywork makes the handle (even repainted) look like crap. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schardein Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 How bad is yours? If it's minor pitting, you could have it beadblasted to get to clean metal and then use some filler to cover the pitting. Then seal prime paint. That's if it's not so bad it's missing chunks and no one rogers up with a spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyRodder Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Not great- pretty thin. It works, but it was recommended I not use it much to prevent breaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
