Paint Color

I am making a tailgate bench for my mom for Christmas. I have purchased the tailgate pictured and a black rear bumper. I want to match the bumper to the whitish color of the tailgate. I also want to outline the ford on the tailgate so you can see it better. I am thinking the white is the Wimbledon White and the the red primer looking color is Hot Ginger Poly from the research I have done. Is this correct or are they different colors?

Before I say anything, I have excellent color vision. If that is Wimby White it has taken a beatin' That other color is just plain hideous.

The color combo is more like a Dent side color scheme. I figure the colors to be Shell White and Hot Ginger. Colors found on 1973 pickups.

If you want to rattle can it you might try an appliance white. I actually found a color that matched my beige 69 well enough to barely notice the replacement tailgate and dash touch up. It was paint made for propane bottles. I got it off the shelf in an old Hardware Hank in east Texas. Even painted my steering wheel with it and it held up well for many years.
