Yeah I will end up painting the whole truck. The paint color is a tricoat and its hard to paint and even harder to match. Since the only panel without any damage is the tailgate I will end up painting the whole truck and cheating by changing the color. My first try was too far off but I found a 2011 Gm color thats almost a perfect match but regular base clear paint. Base clear will be cheaper and easyer to paint. The color just has to be close enough so I don't have to paint the jambs.
So far I have 1,000 miles on the truck with no issues other than a slight vibration which turns out to be a common complaint with the 2014-2018 trucks and its not accident related. I did pick up a nice used topper the other day for a deal too and it was already the right color... well right color for now anyway.
