Default Carbon flash paint code?

My painted level III splitter took a rock hit, I want to touch it up. The parts guys at my local Chevy dealer couldn't find what the code is to order some.

If someone knows the GM and universal codes for carbon flash it'd be a help.

For 2014, Ditzler PPG 917964. But I assume yours is newer, so:

For 2015, Ditzler PPG 918053, which is GM code WA565Q.

Please double-check before you paint anything :-)

GM Carbon Black & Black Granite & Black Ice: There are two GM paints which have this name, WA565Q and WA501Q. These paints are often confused. Check your data tag to determine which you have. The color data code should be 565Q or 501Q optionally followed by a "U" or "L".
