Youre right, those could get expensive. You didn't even mention a saddle, boots, and a hat. Even after all that I would be wearing a polo shirt and slacks, as I sttod next to my horse in the living room, so I guess I would need new clothes and a barn.


So, do you think that it would still damage my paint over time if the chains were covered with rubber or leather?

I have some of the clear rubber tubing and some chrome chains/hardware but I'm getting worried as I think about my new paint. Im sending it for body/paint this week so I need to decide if I want to mount the chain hardware or not.

I used PPG paint protection film on the '65 I restored. Has around 1,000 miles on it and no damage to the paint.

Re: Will tailgate chains scratch your paint??

I have had mine on for years and no scratching with some sort of cover over the chain. Mine is like a fake leather. Now where the hook goes thru the body is a different story for me.
