Hard to tell. The color match was close but the real difference was the gloss. I realize it is hard to color match but glossiness should be easier to match. They are close enough and since you aren't trying to match anything else they are probably fine. The next parts for the RV8 will not be matching colors to anything else so I might give them another shot. Hopefully they won't have an issue with glossy silver.

I've flown a lot of different RV's inlcuding Dick's original RV1 when they did the nationwide tour before putting it into the EAA museum. Great planes. I'm building my third right now.
