Hanaldo's work is fantastic, as always
However, I think that most manufacturers making panels for high-end supercars will likely be investing a lot in the finishing process. For them, it's probably not so important to achieve a perfect surface finish when the part comes out of the mould and a lot will be invested in many coats of lacquer to achieve a deep gloss and fairly tough finish
I tend to use EC's GC50 on a lot of the parts that I make and this can give you a surface coating straight from the mould that is highly polishable with added UV stability. The downside of using it is that you do tend to lose a little clarity on the visual effect, as even the most careful of spraying will leave a surface onto which you lay the dry fabric a little less flat than usual. However, it does give you a bit of leeway to fix and improve any slight issues from the mould that might otherwise not be possible with a 'bare' epoxy-made part
