Default Matching Denim black

I need alittle help with my HD 1/4 fairing, my bikes an 06 in denim black, my fairing is beat down, (paint wise) and i need to paint it, does anyone know if the Krylon Fusion Flat black plastic paint is a good match to the OEM denim paint? Im trying to do it on the cheap! I'll use mat clear coat to protect the paint, but i think the clear will Glossy up the flat!!!!!

i like to use the rustoleum painters touch semi gloss black, and clear that with the flat clear, cheap and has a pretty dang good match! i shoot the clear while the base is still wet and not final cure... it is def a flat black that is super clean... but i think HD has a rattle can black denim that is like 20 bucks and you know is a spot on match
if it helps here are some pics of the painters touch from a fighter i built

base b4 clear

on the bike in the sun..

Thanks Joe, When you shoot the painters touch do you prime first?
The Krylon fusion says no primer is needed!!!! Ive used it a few times and had great success,
I try the painters touch on a sample piece to see how it turns out....
