Default Gray Powder coating cleaning

Does any one know how to clean the gray powder coating that comes on the Dyna super glides . I have a 2008 FXD and they stained them at the dealer and I have tried sp100 , soft scrub , rubbing compound , polish , brake clean . Other than powder coating or replacing these covers for new black at $600. dollars how do I clean up these eye sores ?

can you explain a little more about what happened, the paint itself ? and your attempts at fixing it?

if the part was supposed to flat or satin you may be screwed and recoating may be needed,but if it was shiny or glossy it may be that the clear coat could be polished back out just like clear coat paint.

good luck
