    I used white plasti dip on my tailgate handle, it matches fairly well but It will be more of a matte finish. And if you don't like it you can just peel it off.

    This is white plasti dip on my tailgate handle, I think it matches pretty well.

    here's some pics

    20140802_201510.jpg got the last can at walmart and tape

    20140802_205234.jpg taped it up b4 removing (easier)

    20140802_212427.jpg put about 4 coats (15 min dry time in between)

    20140802_222739.jpg 2 hours later

    20140803_081622.jpg took badge off and will paint black

    not too bad for something you can easily take off if you want to. my first time doing this and I started at almost midnite. definitely watch the edges to make sure you have a nice and even coat (I didn't lol)
