Default Paint Code number for Machine Silver

Need some help.
I am on the road and my painter called tonight wanting the paint code number for 05-06 Machine Silver. I am on the road and can't look on the car. Any help would be appreciated.

There may be one code but about 10 variations of Machine Silver. Don't ask how I know.

Good catch guys. I got the 944L from one of Talon's previous posts and didn't check. My apologies for any inconvenience to OP. :o
