Does this tailgate handle need to be painted?

How can I tell if my tailgate handle has corroded enough to replace?
Look at the closed tailgate handle for rust, pitting or cracks, and notice whether the tailgate still opens and latches smoothly. A shop can test the latch and release if the handle looks fine.
