Default Factory paint question

This question may be a Z06 question only, but here's what I've got. The rear deck of the roof panel steps down at the base of rear window with the deck lid sitting inside. The vertical portion of the step(blue tape) is unfinished with no evidence of base coat or clear and rough to the touch. The horizontal lip below is finished smooth with base/clear.
I just checked a friend's Z06 and it looks like the same thing with unfinished vertical section.
Is this normal? Thank, Jeff

Can a z06 OR frc owner please verify whether the vertical lip of the rear roof panel edge came factory unfinished? Any help greatly appreciated. Jeff

I have an 02 ZO6. Here is a picture that I took to show how I installed the hood seal on the trunk opening. You can see that mine is painted body color:
