Key Hole Protection on doors

[Jeeperjamie]

May sound weird but I do not have power locks or windows and was wondering what would be a way to protect the outside key Hole. Plus I'd like to make it black to pretty much complete the blackout look. I know plastic dip but do they make line a rubber cover or something you put over it. Looking for suggestions and pictures of what people have done

Hey Jamie I believe you have a base Sport model truck, not a Sport S. I also have a base Sport model truck and also have to use my key to open it. No idea how to protect the paint other than to be very careful when inserting the key. Like the color and your truck and also your short antenna. I think I have the exact same antenna that you have, gets fantastic reception. Will be interesting to read if anyone has a bright idea for the door key question of yours.

All I can think of on the door lock is to cut some 3M clear tape to put around the hole. Maybe the lock can be removed so the tape can go underneath it?

Appreciate it and probably is the same antenna, grabbed it from advance, got the aluminum one because it did good on the JK. You are correct about it not a being a sport s. It's just a sport with Max tow package. I assumed it was a sport s but after research and looking back at the sticker it just a sport.

I'd like to find something black. I was considering plastic dip but not sure how that would work for using the key Hole. There is a graphics design company close to my house that does auto body wraps, I may stop by there and see if they have a suggestion. I can see it getting scratched up pretty quickly

I'd recommend avoiding that, I used it on my LJ most peeled off while I was driving. Part of it cleanly a lot not so much... 10 years later I'm still trying to remove the residual adhesive. Great idea but it didn't have the performance quite right. I did the full package of it doors, fenders windshield frame and corners. I would be driving on I-state or hwy then start hearing a buzzing sound from it peeling off.
