Default Tailgate handle trim

Hey, I found this on reddit a few weeks ago and have been searching for the piece of trim that is around the tailgate handle.

The poster said it was on the truck when he purchased it used, and any googling i've done has come up unsuccessful.

Anyone have any ideas?

Here is a link to the album. http://imgur.com/a/OPkO6

For sure! I'm just looking for a way to cover the little rust spots around my handle. I'm horrible with paint so this way I could sand it and prime it then cover it up never to be seen again!

It doesn't look all that bad, more attractive than chipped paint and rust.

You could tape it off and use plastidip to make that shape. Plastidip is very forgiving and can be peeled off if you don't like it.

this is funny saw a Titan the other day and was thinking that didnt look to bad. I too have paint thats chipping around the handle and was looking for a cheap way to fix it. Buddy of mines cuts vinyl so he just made one up for me out of some old scraps. Then the dog ate it before it got put on so waiting on him to cut a new one.
