Does this molding come with mounting hardware?

Hardware is not confirmed with this assembly. You'll likely use your existing tailgate fasteners, but verify bolt size and length before installation to ensure a secure fit.

Will I need to drill holes in my tailgate?

No drilling needed. This bolts directly at factory mounting points on your tailgate, so installation stays simple and reversible.

Can I paint over the textured finish if I want a different color?

Yes. Light scuff the surface with fine-grit sandpaper to help paint adhesion, then apply primer and your color. The textured base gives paint good grip.
