Anyone tried Wurth silver wheel paint. How well does it match the oem BBS color?

Unbelievable!!! I was searching the net today on just that very topic. From what I saw,
it supposedly matches BBS Silver and BMW Silver very closely. I did not find any information regarding where it is sold.
Instead, I have been repairing a BBS RK and found a GM Silver at Pep Boys. The color matches but the metal flakes are smaller.
After spraying a very dry coat of the silver (i.e. highest concentration of flakes), I put a couple coats of clear on.
You have to look very close to notice any change in metal flake or texture.
I also investigated having a touchup color sent from BBS. The BBS RKs come in two paint varieties. They only provide touchup for the non-silver metalic painted variety, which I believe is not generally available in the USA.

Well, I found where it's sold...was just wondering how well it matches my BBS Audi RC's?
I also understand Tirerack sells BBS touchup, but I don't know if it's spray or brush on.<ul><li><a href="http://www.carcareonline.com/wurth_silverspray_11322.html">http://www.carcareonline.com/wurth_silverspray_11322.html</a</li></ul>

BBS offered to send me some touch up, but there are two silver paint finishes for RKs
and they only make touch-up for the one I don't have.
I would order a can of the Wurths if it's only $17 and see what happens.
