Regarding Sikaflex- the glossy surface can be reduced by rubbing away the top layer gently, try with a finger initially.
It may assist with blending in old and new.

The product is very versatile If aware of the various drying stages, it can be worked like putty (wet with white spirit/ panel degreaser) a grain effect can also be achieved but you will need a little practice to gauge.

Black colour restorers available for the likes of bumpers will also take to Sikaflex once the surface gloss is reduced.

Hope it helps
Regards Bob.
