Yes, my Sylva Fury in Oxford Blue still polishes up nicely.

I've used some rough mouldings before on some after-market Lotus Seven wings but high-build primer has been my friend, followed by lots of sanding.

The Z300S gelcoat is not shiny but I was pleased at how smooth it is and how little filling has been required overall.
