The bell is shiny... I wouldn't change anything!
That said, appearance are more important to some people more than others. No one is right or wrong, and for that kind of work, you can be sure that the factory can do a good job of it!

Just realize that a change in amount of lacquer can, and likely will, affect the playing characteristics of the tuba. Maybe for the better, maybe not. I will never add more lacquer to my PT 10, 31 years old. It plays better now than it did new.
Colored lacquer is no problem, won't affect sound more than any other lacquer.
Unless the valves are shot, save your money.
