Default How can I dull my new shiny finish?

Hey guys, tried a search but really couldn't get a straight answer. Basically I got back a few bike parts from powdercoating and they are all a little to shiny for my taste. I requested 20% gloss black and it looks like 40%. So, now I wanna dull them up to look more satin than glossy.

Can some one walk me through a quick round of sand paper grits or the best process of dulling them out but still keeping the "finished" look? I am assuming I would need to wet sand the frame (good time to get the orange peel off in some spots). I am thinking 400 then finishing with 1500 or 2000. BUt I am not sure. Pls Help! TIA
