I will guess it was painted/epoxy coated during the fuselage sanding.
Yes, it's shiny. |

There are no "small aircraft" when holding a sander, buffer or can of wax.

Ain’t that the truth Mark M, just finished sanding and buffing my DG200-17C all over, about 50 hours to get the original Schaballac gelcoat back to looking new,
not bad for a glider made in 1980 to still have original gel in perfect condition. |
