I'd tell the DVLA for a start, then I'd inform the insurance company asap

may well reduce your premium,you will be reducing the value of your car.
but it's your scoob,try it,if you dont like it paint it again.
good luck(could be an expensive experiment)

shiny black would be faster than matt black,due to a better drag coefficient
