Yikes. That's noticeable. This figure was pretty cleverly constructed to get that metallic look in the costume. Most of his body is painted silver so the metallic shine comes through. His chest, though, is skin toned there. I think the fix is to just remove the suit and paint that portion of the chest to match.
 
No need for a whole new thread. it's been talked about in the figure thread multiple times here:

The quick answer is, that's just the flesh tone showing through the suit. The suit is quite thin. the rest of the body is painted silver which is what creates the metallic shine to the rest of it. so either remove the suit and paint over the flesh color to silver OR paint on the suit in a watered down acrylic navy gloss paint. it will seep through the fabric and get on the fleshy parts underneath anyway
