Big thank you for your thoughts
If I can't get it done locally, you will be first on the list. It's just a pain to ship.

My approach would be to repaint the entire red area (or at least the top area within the panel line), saving anything else that can be masked. Personally I would not mix the red and silver. There is a reason the red is applied on top. Anytime you mix a metallic into a red it dulls it considerably. With the red on top you see the red cleanly with the silver shining from below. It's like a colored lens.
I wish you well with finding someone locally to help you out. As before, if you can't find a local painter let me know. I mix my own transparent lacquer colors from components, so I can control the intensity and color match. Have sprayed transparents (tints) and candy effects many, many times. If not this time, keep me in mind for future.
Best,
