In this screencap from TWOK, you can see the pencil lines they added to the secondary hull and nacelle pylon to make up for the dulled-down pearlescent paneling. It’s…not an improvement from the TMP look. And I say this while also having great love for ILM’s work on the films.
“Vandalism” is too strong a word, but it’s regrettable that they had to do this in order to make the model suitable for their style of bluescreen shooting.

I would go with “Vandalism”. That was a great way to put it.
I generally don’t get too picky on this stuff, but personally TMP is the ideal Enterprise, the most beautiful model ever, for my eyes.
I’m super excited for the TOMY TOS Enterprise though, since that ship would always be my first choice to own.
