Oxford (White) ?
I was told recently by an owner of a 2011 F350 that Ford changed the formula/shade/color of the original, used for YEARS Oxford White sometime around 2011......I hadn't heard that before......
Anyone know?

OK, Thanks guys!
Now we're getting somewhere......
I was speaking to a guy who was filling up an '11 the other day at our local fuel distributor-HE was the one who told me about the paint switch.....
HIS truck was obviously the Tri-coat Platinum.....almost looked like a Pearl like we have on our '97 Thunderbird......
So, OXFORD is OXFORD is OXFORD.........GREAT! Thanks!

We were compairing HIS paint to mine, it was overcast and I really had to look hard to see the slight metallic in his paint, it was quite a ways off my original paint Oxford....
I know there was a "Performance White" at time......but don't think it was used on trucks.....

Just got a topper from Snugtop and the Oxford white did not match. It was close,but definitely a whiter white than my 2012 Z1 color code Oxford white. After paying top dollar for a shell I am sending it back with my gas cap cover to see if they can get it closer. I would have been happier having my buddy paint a used shell. He actually told me the Oxford white's can be a bit different but most people can't tell. I really noticed it when out in the natural setting of trees and sun. Anywho, just wanted to throw that out there as the "tint" can be a little different.

Unfortunately the quality of Raiders top of the line topper is very poor to say the least.
I would not recommend anyone purchase a Raider product. Windows that are bending and ready to break due to the topper being malformed, plastic trim falling apart, the topper is not square to the bed and on it goes.
