Suggested correction: Both handles are green. The sun is reflecting on the one due to the angle and the glare gives the impression of being silver.

Breaking and Entering - S4-E2

Continuity mistake: At the car dealer where Don Self speaks to the seller, the seller says "How did you find me?" and they are inside the car dealership. Don responds with "I've never lost you". Suddenly when Don answers they are outside the building, like they teleported. (00:13:25)

Season 1 generally

Factual error: When Michael fills the tank with water (below the stock room), he then strips his clothes off, and slides down a pipe and into the water at the bottom of the tank. Since the water level was way above him, the pipe he slid down and the access to get there would have been flooded also. There was no water in the pipe he slid down, so for that area to be dry, it would have to be above the water line.
