We just had a great NCRS event at Waco last weekend and I was lucky enough to judge the chassis on all 15 1967 Corvettes. The chassis included the frame, front and rear suspension, the master cylinder, radiator and radiator support, under hood and inner fenders. I know that we did make some deductions on some of these items being to glossy.
There were some amazing cars presented for judging and I recall one in particular that had the bottom of the hood painted in a gloss black, semi gloss is correct.
These point deductions are minor, we made a one point deduction for the glossy paint, this is out of 4,500 points. I know that NCRS would not make a deduction for something being too clean, too glossy, yes. There is a catagory at the end of the sheet for overall cleanliness and the only time there is a deduction is if there is dirt or grease. Don't be discouraged by one event, bring your car back for many judgings. It really takes about five events to really get an accurate feel for your car.
