Hi all, new member here. Does anyone know of an over the counter oil based enamel/poly paint that closely matches the bright white?

I just took delivery of a 2021 Ram 5500 Cab Chassis. I've picked up a used flat bed outfitted with 5th wheel. I want to paint it without spending a fortune, so I was hoping one of the premix paints might be close. Rust-oleum, Interlux, Pettit, etc. Something I can just brush or roll on.

Thanks,
Joe

I went to my local paint store last year and ordered a qt of bright white PW7 in enamel to repaint my tailgate and I must say it wasn't a perfect match but it was close enough to where nobody but me noticed it but honestly I wouldn't expect as good out of a spray bomb. Good luck!

In the paint computer at work, there are 11 (11!) different variants of PW7.

Okay, so PW7 is a commonly known paint code. That's great to know.

Booms, while that isn't ideal. I just wanted to make sure it was close, and I wasn't going to get an off or antique white. Hopefully the variants are close enough.

Thanks all.

NAPA at one time had a mix on order spray cans.
My local NAPA still offers this. It's convenient for small jobs but would be expensive for something like the OP is wanting it for. Would be cheaper to buy it by the quart or gallon for bigger jobs.

try automotive touch up, I have used them for years and always have had a perfect match, no matter if it is spray or can of the paint.
