Default rear plastic ground effect color

hello
has anyone with a black car had to rejuvenate the plastic ground effect below the rear bumper?
or is supposed to be a tone lighter/gray?
if you have brought it back to black, what did you use? Solution Finish? c4?

thank you;

Hi
The back surround is a 2 piece. Some cars the upper part is the body color mine is gloss Black on a firesand car.
The lower part of the surround is black on the cars I have seen and It is a matte finish. I just dust it, spray it with detail spray
and liightly buff.

I just covered all of the black shiny bits with 3D Carbon Fiber wrap. I chose the 3D C/F wrap that matched the C/F already on my SVR. Doing the rear fascia was not easy. It took all day by a very reputable installer who works on very high end vehicles. The front bumper bar is actually a real C/F piece that I had fabricated...

Please share what kind of 3D carbon you used and photos if you have them. I have tried 5d and 8d - they look way better than the old school simulated carbon but still not like the real thing. I am considering numerous koshi Group parts but they are expensive. Hate the cost but I also don’t want to put something on that fake. Thanks.
