Default Any fix for dull paint on black front bumper?

The front bumper cover on my black Camaro is noticably duller than the paint on the rest of the car , is there anything that can be done to help the situation (short of repainting it all together)? It's never going to be a show car by any means, but I'd at least like to get the front bumper cover closer to matching the sheen of the rest of the car. Thanks

You could always wet sand it and buff it.

BLACK /Z28 how much did it run you to have the front clip re-painted?

Of course I removed the clip myself. Then sanded it (scuffed it) and drove it down there.
BTW, it was $240. I just checked my receipt.
