My glovebox paint code doesn't match my paint

[97cheV8]

I'm trying to find a replacement fender, so I looked in the glovebox and the paint code I saw was U328E, which Google says is a light pewter, but my truck is a metallic blue. Is the code just the metallic part or was my truck just repainted at some point? If it has been repainted, how can I find the color code for that, because I've seen other trucks my year with this exact paint job, so I assume it's a gm color. I dunno, lemme know what you all think.

Either truck was repainted, or glove box was replaced.
Rare that a full color paint switch gets done. There would be some areas they didn't do, like under the carpet. Maybe do some exploring.

Those wheel wells aren’t blue…

Most shops and paint stores are set up to color match via camera/computer. The color name is really irrelevant because gm, gm truck, GMC, Buick, etc might all have the same formula/paint code but the color names will be different. Paint looks a bit thin in the wheel arch flanged section, and silver wheel houses?????? What color the firewall under the dash. Not thinking original.

If the vin on the glove box is correct. 11U - ext. Pewter Metallic, 13D- trim cloth Lt. Grey, 131- int. Lt. Grey
Have used the service manual RPO list to decode your glovebox tag.

Those dudes up there already noticed ^^^ truck is not original color. The SPID label paint code is irrelevant. Get it matched at the paint shop w/a camera.

Do any of you know what the paint code or specific paint color name would be, I'm trying to find an exact replacement for the fender and the bumper fillers. I had thought about redoing the whole paint but I figured it wasn't bad enough to be worth the money/effort. I'll send some more pictures of the truck
