The exterior handle on my car has broken off. It's a flush fitting lift up
type about 4" long. It appears to be made of 'pot' metal.

A new assembly isn't too expensive, but doesn't come ready painted - it's
colour coordinated with the body. And having it painted triples the
price...

The clean break is near enough a straight line along the entire length.
What would be the chances of repairing it with epoxy etc - and if so which
one?

Is this the handle that you use most often? If so, can you replace the
broken one with another handle from your car, then make an epoxy attempt at
a repair. As long as it's not used that much you might be ok.
