Dry layup issue

I'm working on my first project, a carbon fibre kayak seat. I have just laid down my final layer but it came out dry and doesn't have that glossy appearance.

I intend to apply a flowcoat to finish it off but not sure whether I can apply the flowcoat now to rectify the glossy appearance, or should I apply more resin to get it right first? Are there any downsides to putting the flowcoat on now?

Very true. It will have some showing but as my first project I wanted to show off the carbon! 

Will see how I get on without.
