Yeah so I got one of these frames, it's hard to see in the picture but it's got quite a dry matte to it, I love the frame/break-away aspect etc it's just the paint job that bothers me a bit...not sure what is best to do. Maybe I just need to convince myself to like it :)
Hard to see in pics but you get an idea...

Polishing is a DIY-able project if you fancied it.
Assuming there is actually enough clearcoat on there.something like this would do it...
2000 grit paper wet
3000 grit paper/pad wet
coarse cutting compound and coarse pad
fine compound and finer pad
polish and a mopBy hand will take you until 2021 but you can get a small adapter for a drill and a DIY kit from car enthusiast sites.

For yours... you could potentially polish up the current matte clearcoat rather than going again.
The shininess of a paint finish is simply down to the sheen of the clearcoat (unless you're using direct gloss products).
