It could be various tom. Best check the boot sticker.

Black Magic
or
Diamond Black

They may look similar but the sparkle is totally different!

Ring up the garage that did your bodywork dude. They sprayed the doors, so you'll need the same code as that one. It should be LC9Z as Max said, that's what mine is.

To note thought, early GTIs were a different black same as they were a different silver!

Well assuming his car is all one colour, the garage that did the smoothing will have the correct code which ever one it is 8)
