Does this molding come with mounting hardware?

The molding assembly is included. Confirm your fastener needs by inspecting the mounting holes before ordering — some buyers use existing tailgate hardware, while others prefer new bolts for a secure fit.

Can I install this myself?

Yes. The bolt-on design uses factory mounting points, so you'll need basic hand tools and a socket set. No drilling, cutting, or modification of the tailgate is required.

Does this need paint before install?

That depends on your finish preference and the molding's current condition. If you're matching your truck's color or protecting bare material, prep and paint it before mounting. If you're keeping the factory finish, install as-is.
