Default Cleaning/repainting '69 rocker panels. Question

I pulled the rocker panels on my 69 because they look terrible. I need to sand the fiberglass part down and repaint and I need to polish the aluminum part.
My question is:
How much (if any) of the aluminum is painted?
The PO painted the bottom half the same color as the fiberglass (black).

Is this correct or should the entire thing be polished?
