I have not had any problems with the glossy finish on my Camo Hunters, and my son uses the black hunters with no problems either. I have yet to hear from customers with any concerns as well.

4-degrees is the offset. Helical is helical, either right or left. The offset is the angle with which the vane or feather lines ups with the shaft. 3-4 degree offset with a helical (either or, Left or right, personal preference really) is a good combination for four-inch and fixed-blade heads. (gotta keep 'em spinning!) You should be fine. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
