Yes. Is there a problem with silver paint?

Aside from being inaccurate and hiding the joys of a natural metal finish?

I’ll take the silver paint to cover up the years of small dents, nicks, and scratches. Doing the necessary sheet metal work to make it look “accurate” will cost much more than the airplane is worth.

It's artwork, and nicely done I might add, not a Pebble Beach restoration.....

Art should be enjoyed, not rivet counted.
