The hatch itself, surrounding the glass, is steel. The "facia" above and behind the license plate is the plastic part, including the taillight assemblies. The actual bumpers themselves are steel. But as with all modern automobiles the painted covers are plastic. They are black. There is more steel about the Stinger than many sedans. Look at the "bones".

The crash bar on my 22 is some kind of composite material at least in the rear and the rear hatch cover is definitely plastic blu that one apart in a accident
Yeah, I have a touch up pen. I'll need to look and see if it actually went through the paint or not. I'm pretty sure it only went through the clear coat.
My Stinger is Ceramic Silver so it's a little harder to tell if it went to the steel itself.
Get that taken care of asap. We've been lucky this winter so far, gonna be in the 40s for the rest of the week but anything will rust when unprotected. On top of that if you live in MN, you know as well as I that if we get some snow they'll be out spreading salt and chemicals all over the place.

When I bought my car new 3 years ago the dealer applied some kinda undercoating to it. It had a weird oatmeal type look to it. I remember it was oozing out of certain spots in the bottom of the doors and underneath. Not sure exactly what they used but I wonder how long that stuff lasts? Just like the OP, I too live in MN.
