GM paint code?
Hi! I am in search for some paint for my 2002 Suburban which has the 11U and 382E-tags on the RPO-code sheet in the glovebox, which suggests that I need the WA382E color paint (Pewter grey). I have found on Amazon that my regular seller sells the WA382E-paint on spray can but I also see that they sell a paint with code 11-382E which also seem to be for my year of suburban and looks like (to me, a novice) that this is the same color.
Also when I search for the paint codes they often show up together, most commonly as WA382E/11/382E.
Is there anyone here who could tell me if this perhaps is the same color and therefore interchangeable? It would be great since the 11-382E color is sold in jug/can instead of spray can and I kinda like my paint gun. Also I need a fair amount of paint and it is quite a bit cheaper

Just got back from the supplier and these two paint codes is the same paint, which is nice. Is there anyone here who has some insight into how come the same paint has 2 different numbers? Is one like a "spare parts"-number and the other an original code or something?
