Default duplicolor touch up rattle can?

has anyone used this stuff, im prolly gonna pick up some cans of it this week(spring break) and fix the paint problems i inherited from the previous owner
i no i need the metallic silver for the bottom trim but i can't seem to find the paint anywhere, the code for duplicolor is DSCC410 or T363
what is the difference between the car and truck/van cans? just size?

ive used duplicolor products before just not this stuff, im not expecting it to be perfect but with some good preparation and doing it the right way i think i can get it pretty close with blending it into the original paint, and some wet sanding and stuff

only problem is this week is the only time i will get a chance to do it, and i can't find any of this paint, its like they dont carry this paint code, the black is easy just standard color so ill pick up a can of that stuff and one of the touch-up pen/clear things to get rid of the scratch when i rubbed a branch

I've used the duplicolor for the silver part on my truck, and it actually turned out better than I thought. I had a couple of rust spots along the very bottom that had to be cleaned up when I bought the truck. I'm not saying that it's a perfect match, but you really have to look to see it, and it's way cheaper than having a body shop spray it for you. If you'd like, I can take a couple close up shots.

In '01, or '02 they changed to a different shade of silver. On my truck, the color is actually called Driftwood Satin, but the paint code is DSCC402

The code that they're stating could be a mistake on their part, but I'm not really sure. I forgot to mention that I bought the paint at Advanced Auto.
