Maybe a paint finish is too reflective and makes the guitars sound too harsh? Though on something with F-holes, you need only spray the area below the F-hole, and you could always spray a stain, which won't add any extra sound reflections.
Yeah, I've seen some top end luthiers use a finish on the inside, but like you said, it's pretty rare. I just seems to stand put more on electrics with F holes, especially when they have painted finished, or coloured stains.

Understood Dedman, A label should look good!
