I doubt it would significantly reduce resale value if you had quality paint work performed. I have seen two non OEM painted R1200S' sell for very good numbers on par or better than original bikes of the same mileage.
Like someone else mentioned you should consider what makes you happy and if you plan to keep the machine go crazy.
I think the silver paint job basically has a satin or flat clear on top of the color coat. If you like silver and want the paint to look glossy you could very easily have the current parts wet sanded and then sprayed with a gloss clear top coat.
FYI - I was thinking about doing the reverse to my black R1200S and making it look stealth. My painter discouraged me because the satin finish shows a lot of greasy finger prints and smudges and is apparently difficult to keep looking good.
The motorsport painted R1200S looks very good in my opinion and should have been offered by the factory.
