Painting guttering

The house has aluminum guttering that is about 35 years old. Original gutter color was dark brown, baked on. It was repainted about 15 years ago and that paint has faded to a reddish-brown tint.
Now to the problem. One section of the guttering has been damaged. Front of the house, facing the roadway. Guttering company says they can come close to the faded paint color with a special order color that they do not stock-- job quote $250.00. Color match not guaranteed. The section is only about 14 feet and I have a piece of new white guttering plenty long enough to do the job myself.
So if I use the white and repaint all the guttering, should I use Rustoleum oil-base brown, starting with a coat on the white and then paint all of the guttering including a second coat on the new section, will that be about as long lasting as anything I can apply?
Other suggestions on the replacement and the painting?
