Default Re: How can I dull my new shiny finish?

A grey 3M pad will dull the shine. A maroon pad is a little course and will leave scratches as will sanding with grits below 600. The problem is that all these methods will leave the surface with marking or orientation lines. Your best solution is to re-coat as Harleydad suggests. A fast cool-down will also give a dull finish but could be spotty at joints or areas that hold heat longer.
