Mopar Hitch Bezel part# 5113693AA
TNG Hitch Receiver Cover
Someone hit my 21 in the grocery store parking lot. Fortunately only the hitch receiver cover was damaged. I got lucky. Does anyone know the part number so that I can have this piece replaced?
Thanks in advance.

Do keep in mind they come in bare black plastic, not painted. Someone did the same to me years ago and the $300 (cover + paint) I was quoted at the time was just too much for a slight outline of my hitch receiver being in the cover.
The SRT and R/T Tow N' Go are black, not painted.
You can paint them yourself. Their are companies out there that sell rattle cans of the exact match paint color. Check out AutomotiveTouchup.com. I've done this on a previous car. Painted a couple of engine bay pieces to match exterior of car. Mine even had the metal flakes (pearl) in it. Just give them a slight sanding to rough the surface a little, spray the color, let dry, then spray some clear. $60 part, $30 color, $6 can of gloss clear (I used Walmart's Rust-Oleum and worked fine).Do keep in mind they come in bare black plastic, not painted.

Will standard rattle cans last on the hitch cover, without a plasticizer? It doesn't flex a lot, but it does flex when you take it off and put it on.....
If you prep it properly and use a plastic adhesion promotor as well, this should help. Personally I haven't tried it on something that gets flexed around a lot, but the pieces I've sprayed under my hood still look fine with all the heat from the engine. In all, I highly doubt that paying someone several hundred to paint such a small piece is going to last any longer than painting it yourself.Will standard rattle cans last on the hitch cover, without a plasticizer?
