I got mine at Auto Zone. My paint code is JL also. I think it was made by Rustoleum.

I did the tailgate handle and it held up great. Just make sure to use the adhesion promoter.

find a autobody supply in your area and they should be able to mix your color in an aerosol can. it will be much better quality and will likely match better than the autozone stuff, ive not had good luck with that.

I dont know about your color but for mine "E4" there are 4 different color variations. You need to run the VIN at a dealer to find out what variation of the paint you have. I guess its because of the different plants that built the F150.

I bought a spray bomb of E4 at Auto Zone and it was nowhere near the color. So I had my friend run my VIN then paint my parts.

Its good to have a friend in a Ford dealer body shop...
