      You will have to get the RC modified.RTO guys will again take the engine number and chassis number and will inspect the bike before they issue you a new RC.

      EDIT : and yes , inform your insurance company of the new colour with a copy of the new RC

        Yes, that is the legal way actually, but I don't think everyone who changes the paint schemes goes through this procedure anyways. Cops really do not check such minute details.

        But nevertheless, take the right way and peace of mind would be yours!

          Insurance company will create problems if you put up any claims

              I had got my colour changed twice (red->blue->black) just because "colour" wasn't mentioned in my RC (paper book , nagpur RTO) even then insurance company made at least a dozen inquiries because everytime my bike colour would change when I put up a claim

                      even if its 2nd hand , isn't the bike in your name? money is involved , but very less if you get it done without touts/officially
