Default Question for anyone that has done wheel repair or are familiar with Wurth paints.

I'm doing some wheel repair this weekend and I ordered what I thought was the right paint. It should have been Wurth Silver Metallic Lacquer Paint. Well, when I opened the box yesterday, the can says Wurth Silver Lacquer Paint (no metion of metallic). I bought the paint from Car Care Specialties and the owner (Larry Reynolds) assured me that it's the same paint although I have some doubts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

What I received:

Do a test spray and look for the metallic flakes.
