I agree. Plastikote brand makes what they call "flat" black. It is more of a
satin sheen black that basically restores these parts to new-looking
condition. Of course, test it on the back of the part first to see if you
like it. It also works great on the rear air vents, gas filler box (westy)
and gas cap. It dries in about 10 minutes. Great stuff IMO.
