Sir William:
Yes, gold and spikey!  lol

I think Sir Nathan's at school now otherwise the blistering ripostes would already be here!  lol

SirNathanQ:
Concerning the original question, I was wondering about shields. could the paint of shields have a gloss or shine to them, even if only a mild one? Although I'm sure painted armour would be relevant as well. 


I was at work (w/o internet access  :P), Sir William. I guess it could be worse, I mean a disco themed knight would be pretty fabulous.  ;)
As far as knights go, I think that might be the most eccentric, flamboyant thing out there...

...no, wait, this guy here still has that honor...

Sir Edward:

Wow, that's like armored landesknecht sleeves, or something. That's crazy. :)

As for the original question, I don't have a definitive answer. It might be worth doing some googling. Flat is always safest, since there were plenty of flat paints in the day. How common or possible was gloss? Not sure.

Sir Ulrich:
I first read this title as "shrine for medieval pants" I was like WTF
