It does appear frosted but it almost appears brushed on. There are a few areas that have no coating. Most of the tub is coated, many areas coated more heavily than others. Those are the areas I attempted to remove so I could get to the shiny surface below.

I would not cover the weep holes as they are there for a purpose to let the water on that shower door flow out from wherever it's collecting . I can't see the caulk along the base of the door rail. Maybe it's clear? You at least need a bead of 100% silicon bath and shower caulk along the base...
