So I took the stock tire carrier off of my red Jeep to install a tailgate reinforcement (MOR/ryde) — it's never been off — and the paint is a bit damaged along the bottom edge. Is there some sort of really thin gasket-like material I can use that won't collect water but will somewhat protect the paint beneath? Haven't seen this addressed before. I did a Poison Spyder on another of my LJs and the damage on that one is much worse so I'll likely have that paint repaired to keep it from starting to rust...but this red LJ's damage isn't quite as bad. Suggestions?
