ps this forum is great and a real boon for novice builders like me.
The Tribute gel coat isn't a " finished " finish , which is a shame really on a £5k panel kit.
The likes of DNA , Ultima and Westfield are a few that have well sorted molds that allow a genuine gel coat finish right out of the mold.
