If I was doing this I would take my spare tire cover into an autobody supply 
shop and get them to color match it. They can then fill a couple of rattle cans 
for you with the matching color and provide you with the correct clear as well. 
I did this when I put running boards on my truck the color match was perfect 
and cost for 3 cans of color and 2 cans of clear was about $60.00.

     I've been considering painting by TR3 steel hard top with a rattle can on 
spray gloss lacquer from Home Depot. The top will be utilitarian and not a show 
piece obviously. What happens with lacquer when it isn't clear coated? Does it 
oxidize if it is kept waxed? Is there a spray paint clear coat that I can use?
     TIA,
