Question 146 Painting

Whilst in AMS today I spotted a UK registered 146 with an unusual paint scheme.
I flew the 146 for four years and all our aircraft had bare metal ailerons and elevators (I assume it's something to do with balancing)as has every other 146/RJ that I've seen (Cityflyer, Lufthansa, Sabena JEA etc).
The aircraft I saw today had the ailerons and elevators painted white. Would anyone with access to the 146 AMM care to comment if painting these controls is allowed, or has someone been over zealous with the spray gun. I noticed that the leading edge of the fin had also been painted.
