How you you turn Gloss Black into Black Denim?
I have a Black Denim Nightrain with mini apes that were Gloss Black, and the wrench who put them on did something to them and now they match my Black Denim. He either sanded or steel wooled them or?? - he moved so I dont know what he did?
Any ideas?
My 2012 Black Denim is comming soon and I would all parts to be Black Denim

He might have used a scotchbrite pad.

My guess is he sprayed the gloss black parts with a matte finish clear coat.

Sand it down and shoot it with dark gray primer.
