Body paint judging question

[Chas C Henderson]

Several years ago a new paint deduction for any painting other than "factory" was instituted. I want to make sure I understand it correctly. My car has a hood stripe on it that it should not have-not a BB hood. So I would loose all "Body paint originality-points (45) and body paint condition-points (40)for a 85 point deduction, but I would not loose the "Body color originalty 85 points- no condition points in this catagory. I looked this up in the archives, but I would like a judge to confirm my interpatation of the rule.
I have not had my car judged since 2003 and was thinking about entering it again. Back then I lost 25 points for the hood being striped. Its ironic that I can have the wrong hood on the car, painted the same color but no stripe and now loose only 26 points. Rules are rules and I accept that.

Roy, again please.

The car has always judged well. The color of the car is correct and the small block hood is correct except for a blue stripe. I looked up the ruling in the archives that you put out several years ago, so would I only loose 85 point? That is how I interpided the ruling. I think that is what you said as long as the car is the original color per tag. I just want to be sure before I waste my time or any judges time that it would be a 85 total point hit.

Re: Roy, again please.

The deductin for body color will be 85 points with paint as you describe.
