If i recall correctly from the days i was building model airplanes, all of the luftwaffe aircraft interiors (cockpits as well as the landing gear wells) were painted in RLM 02 colours, which is matte light gray paint. As for RAF aircraft, i think instrument panels were black and the rest was interior green. So, since it's not bare metal but a surface painted with matte colours, i think it's safe to say that they wouldn't reflect too much light.
If you think about it a bit, it makes perfect sense. Why have bare metal cockpits that reflect light and hinder the pilot's vision?
