Black isn't always 'black'. There are so many shades of black (or any other color for that matter) - I'd suggest the MINI touch up paint kit, or color-matched paint pens from www.paintscratch.com or www.colorrite.com.

There are many off shads of black, but mini uses the common solid black. Try on a hidden spot first if you want to try a different brand. I would also recommend a paintscratch pen, much easier to apply than mini's brush bottle.

close match.
