Whoops…

So I ordered a replacement tailgate shell and I plan to move all the hardware over to it.

But…

It showed up damaged. Sad

The seller offered to send a replacement, or $250 off to keep this one. I opted for the $250 off.

Any suggestions for straightening that edge?
I have touch up paint.

OOF!! Looks like forklift damage.
So, what did you use to straighten the edge? I was going to suggest Channel lock pliers with some wood to protect the painted surface from scars.

I backed into the Yellow Jeep. Tailgate was down.

I used pliers wrapped in a rag. The paint was already chipped.

Looks good from 10 feet.
