Default Paint question

Does anybody have the GM paint code number for Spiral Grey Metallic?
I am considering painting on some accents with that color. Any help will be appreciated and thanks in advance.

Off the top of my head, I think it's 88U. I will try to go look at my build sheet later.

Isn't it usually a 4 digit number? I think the U means "upper" as if it were a 2 tone paint job. That is the usual code...there would be L for lower color.

OOOps you beat me to it......thanks
