If surface is coated with opaque layer of paint or varnish, the material should be treated as non-metallic. It doesn't matter what's underneath it, as far as we aware there could be anything, or even nothing at all, generally it doesn't impact top surface properties.

I guess real world examples / photo reference would help here.
