WA 382E and there is a metric shitload of alternates or (variants) to that code. If a precise color match is critical you should probably have it scanned by a shop or paint supplier.

Not that hard to match if you can blend the adjacent panel. If you can it works pretty well and sometimes you have to take extra steps in blending. Any painter with a reasonable amount of experience can do it with no problem. On a large panel I would not reccomend skipping the blend. But for headlight doors or trim pieces you should be ok. Good Luck

Light Pewter Metallic is undoubtedly one of the hardest colors to match especially if trying to paint an adjacent panel. Best to blend into all adjacent panels and even then it can be tough because the pewter has so much black and gold tint in it. Painter has to have air pressure just right, gun speed perfect, etc.
