 Ok then that does change the scenario somewhat...................the color 
and surface matching thingee is still there, just not as evident.

  Ebony finishes come in two flavors...those oversprayed with clear and those 
not oversprayed with clear.  In either case it may be possible to 'rub' out 
the whitening that is discoloring the customers lid.  
  Start with a 'light sanding' using 400/600 paper. Next, use a wool wax, 
0000 steel wool or the grey type finishing pad and rub in the same direction 
as the original strokes.
  If it not oversprayed with clear this should take care of the 
discoloration....if it is oversprayed with clear it is possible that you will 
rub through the clear coat in various places and there will be differences in 
the 'sheen'...if this happens new clear coat is called for, something I would 
not try in a customers home...your mileage may differ though :-)
  Hopefully someone else will come up with a better technique for y'all.

p.s. Yes, there are different shades of black.
