Re: Aluminum tailgae corrosion 700 88

If your tailgate is aluminum, and he treated it as though it were galvanized, you might have problems. Aluminum requires a greenish-yellow primer (zinc chromate, as mentioned before). If some other primer was used, don't be surprised if the paint starts lifting after a while...
