Agree with Crist - looks good  Probably the next best thing to plating, color-wise.
However, is this paint conductive?

The color of paint for the shields is called chrome , that's what rustoleum calls it. I don't know if its conductive but Dick Morgan states that as long as tube shield is grounded good it doesn't matter what kind of paint u use

I'm pretty sure that's why you want conductive paint, so it will be grounded. Otherwise if it's not conductive it wont make electrical contact, unless you scrape off the paint at any points of contact.

Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift

The paint does not matter fir the shields as long ss you leave the internal base part bare so it connects to the chassis, the rest you can cover with latex based for all I care as long as you like it.

I mentioned that already and you are right, as long there are grounded good.

Those sure are purty radios! 
A minor point: I thought the knobs on the earlier and later versions were different.

Its a solid color like plating would be, no metallic 
what I mean, the sound on this one is great and performs well on all bands
