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?

I've used 'Plastic Padding Super Steel' and find it's far superior to
Araldite for repairing metals especially where tensile strength is needed.
It comes in two Araldite size tubes for mixing and sets in 5 minutes.
Definitely worth a try.
