Darkening carbon wheels
I have a set of Reynolds Stratus clinchers on one of my bikes that seem to have more of a grayish color than black, perhaps due to sun exposure?
Is anyone aware of any sort of treatment that would darken them? I know products are made for auto bumpers/trim for this use but that’s not carbon.

rough them up & apply epoxy with a UV protection coating is how I change the appearance of CF parts.
