Default Painting Fiberglass Tonneau

I recently purchased a used leer fiberglass tonneau for my truck and am in the process of painting it. Its final primer coat is drying as we speak. My question is will any high gloss white match oxford white? i went to the auto store but they only have spray cans of duplicolors oxford white. i do not feel like spray bombing the whole cover, it would simply take forever and be to hard to get an even consistent coat on the whole thing anyone have any experience with color matching oxford white? thanks in advance.

From experience, Krylon Fusion high gloss white does not match. It is brighter. The best thing to do is either get a shop to do it or order a bunch of cans of Duplicolor Oxford White(the new exact match stuff is VERY close, I used it on my tailgate and it looks near perfect, half a shade off tops)
