What is VMD spray paint A002L3

Question

I bough this product which is a transparent varnish with gloss, with this code LUCIDO:-

But when i open the can i found that it has this code A002L3, as follow:-

so not sure why i got 2 codes? and what is the use for A002L3?. i already applied it to a blue varnish table,, before i realize that the outside code is different than the inner code. where it gave a MATT transparent finish .. So have any one used VMD-A002L3 before?

any advice?

EDIT

Here is how another can looks like for the same product "transparent gloss varnish:-

where the inner code is the same as the outer code.

Answer 1

The "outer" number/text is the paint code.

The "inner" number/text is a batch, date, or other quality control code. This is used on all kinds of consumer products. These types of codes are how things like the JIF Peanut Butter recall are done. If a month (sometimes it is just a few days) of production of a product is contaminated in some way, this allows for a recall notice to target only the problem product and not "everything".
