Default 1968 front signal housings

Is there supposed to be white paint in the inside surface to help reflect light? It's been too long since I bead blasted my parts and I seam to have a vague recollection of there being white paint. My original wagon tail light housings have paint. I ended up buying complete repo assemblies but they are are not painted.

I redid my housings and used rattle can epoxy appliance white gloss. Looked like the finish that was on them...seem to work fine.

Yes, I found originals to be painted flat white.
