Ah, hard to narrow this problem down. Only thing I can suggest is to swap parts bit by bit with a known working gun until you narrow down the part that's causing the problem. I'm working on another gun right now that has a similar problem, but the kit is a Nova kit. I've narrowed the source of the problem down to the receiver, but haven't figured out the exact nature of the problem.
As for dulling it, why not just buy the regular silver kit to begin with? People buy the electroplated version to specifically get the shine, and you want to reverse it? An acid bath could etch it as well, but you'd have to really know what you're doing to control the result. Sandblasting is cheaper, easier, and safer.
