What I've noticed is if you truly want a show finish bright work, then NOS parts that are refinished is what is needed. I found some nos stainless for my 60, in original gm boxes and wrappers. Open them up and surface scratches all over. And they werent from shelf ware. They were from gm making these cars in a production setting. This is being super picky though. Most people just say oh it's Shiney, it's perfect put it on....True. Best you can do is pre fit each piece before paint. Not always easy if the lead time for parts is way out. Even NOS stuff can be mishandled for years and need tweaking upon assembly
