Does this look like normal wear?

I got a couple of tiny slivers of magnetic when I pulled the trans drain plug. Everything else has been nonferrous a couple tiny slivers of aluminum in the bottom of the pan. Looked like casting flash or maybe someone got aggressive with a razor blade cleaning gaskets. There was a few bits of gasket in the pickup screen but nothing really concerning. I did notice they paint a lot of the inside of the engine with the same metallic paint on the outside. Maybe something got in the oil that eats paint and I'm seeing the metallic in the oil. All just theories at this point. I'm going to change the oil 1 or2 more times and send out a sample for testing.
