No, it would be a small change, if at all.
Now it is plain black.
As for the change - say going from black to metallic black or maybe very dark gray metallic or such. No drastic change that would require disassembly of all panels.

I will document everything for the resale.
Respray is done to fix overburn marks due to improper care and trying to fix it...
