I've touched up MRO with Rustoleum, and color is just about the same.
More "depth" with the MRO. Rustoleum isn't as glossy, but maybe some clear coat on top would help?

Took me 12 cans of the 1.00 walmart brand no primer and it has last about 2 years. It time to be redone and this time im gonna use spray can bedliner. Guess i will see how it holds up. Tried it on a little section of the bed and it looks a whole lot better.

Duplicolor sales paint by the quart now. I saw some at Autozone. You could probably do it pretty cheap. If you know someone with a paint gun and air compressor, it could be done in a day.
