Not that specific mixture, but I have used Duplicolor spray paint before, and had terrible color matching problems from can to can, so I would highly recommend that you make sure all the paint is from the same can so as to avoid that issue. There are a million and one possible shades of silver, so watch out for that pitfall, as it could cost you weeks of work as it did to me.
