Lightbulb Tailgate pitina or paint?

I am getting grief from everyone that I am painting the 54..... Everyone loves the pitina and I do not blame them but I do want to be driving the truck in 20 years not a pile of rust......so this is my hold out, I am going to keep the tailgate as is...it might be that I do not want to fork out the $$$ for a new one. I know it will not match the new paint. And if I do not like it I can always run open.
