DVLA form is as simple as sending off the logbook with a change of colour, I'm not sure you need to tell your insurer though. I had a look at my policy and it doesn't actually mention the colour of the bike anywhere. I'd expect you wouldn't be able to claim on the insurance for a fancy paint job if you didn't tell them but if you're just respraying it I can't see a problem.

A bit of googling returns lots of people stressing how you absolutely positively must inform your insurer and how a hundred puppies will be slaughtered if you don’t but as you have, I’ve noticed that colour isn’t mentioned on my insurance docs and I don’t remember the colour being specified when I entered my reg number to bring up the bike details when I was fucking about with insurance recently.

Anyone painted their bike a new colour and done the paperwork with the dvla etc?
Tell your insurer too?
DVLA bit seems pretty easy but my insurer just charged me £50 to change the bike on my policy, how much they gonna charge me to change the colour?!
Doing it would probably be a winter project and my insurance renewal is Feb I think so perhaps I can just do the dvla bit like the week before changing insurer?
