I'll have to double check, but if memory serves me correctly (I'll have to check with Bob Millard) the last update to the rule was that the car couldn't be in paint and publicly shown or in print prior to the show. Bare metal is fine. All that changed after after Chip won with the Grandmaster. That car had been seen in print in baremetal. So last I knew, as long as it hadn't been publicly shown or in print while painted, it was okay. However, I could be wrong.
