2012 Westminster Paint on top of doors

I was removing a set of perspex win deflectors from my L322. They were on it when i bought it but I prefer the cleaner look. The adhesive tape on one door had been replaced at a time and it wasn't budging. In trying to prise it off, I managed to leave some marks on the door surround. I could kick myself as it was a stupid mistake but here I am.

Can anyone tell me the colour code or finish of the black paint used to paint the window surrounds on a 2012 L322 Westminster

?
I want to tidy up a few scuffs on a frame and I ordered a rattle can of satin black by Tetrosyl. If the can top colour is accurate then satin may be a little too "matt" for the job.

Any advice welcome. Ideally I don't want to spend a fortune on either paint or paying a bodyshop. I think I can flat out the scuffs, undercoat and top coat it reasonably easily if I can get the right colour.

Thanks

I did all my door frames in Halfords Satin Black afer some corrosion correction, I've used before and it is a nice satin finish.

I always wash the car with Turtlewax Shampoo and this leaves a nice sheen on the black paintwork and plastic parts.

Problem is you have to do it all in the same paint or it looks "off" from a distance.

Thanks Andy
I thought if it close I could get away with just doing one side of the car whereas do the front door and not the back and the difference is night and day.
I will spray up a piece of waste material and see what the finish is on Tetrosyl and I jight pick up a can of Halfords and compare it. I appreciate the recommendation.
