Yes, a car can be repainted. The process for repainting is as follows: 1. After determining the new color for the vehicle, apply to the vehicle management office within 10 days; 2. Prepare the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's ID, the original vehicle registration certificate, and the original vehicle license; 3. Pay all fines incurred before the repainting; 4. Inspect the vehicle's exterior, take rubbings, and photos. Any exterior modifications that do not pass inspection must be restored to the original factory condition beforehand; 5. Fill out the color change application form, submit it to the processing window after completion, and wait for approval and issuance of a new vehicle license. When changing the vehicle's color, owners must not imitate the color schemes and patterns of police cars, fire trucks, road administration enforcement vehicles, ambulances, etc. Additionally, the area covered by vinyl wrap should not exceed one-third of the vehicle's surface.

I’ve had my car wrapped in a color-changing film for three years. Remember to book a registration update on the 12123 app within ten days after the modification—just bring the green vehicle registration book and driver’s license, pay 20 bucks, and you’re set. If you skip the registration and get pulled over, it’s a straight-up fine. Last time, someone in my neighborhood got a lecture from traffic police for their unregistered cherry blossom pink wrap. Opt for TPU material for the color film—it’s more durable than traditional PPF. With an 8,000 RMB budget, you can get an imported brand that won’t fade for five years. Never cheap out on low-quality film—it leaves sticky residue on the paint that’s impossible to clean off. For a full-body color change, make sure the installer removes door handles and emblems; otherwise, the gaps look obviously fake. The trunk edge trim also needs precise handling. I went for an electro-optic metallic gray—it’s noticeably more dirt-resistant than plain black when washing, but avoid automatic gas station car washes as they can scratch the film. After the change, friends all said it looks like a brand-new car—just a smart trick to protect the factory paint.

How to Deal with Adhesive on Car Paint?

Methods for dealing with adhesive on car paint: 1. Apply hand cream to the adhesive area, using a circular motion with your fingers to avoid damaging the paint. Once the adhesive shows obvious signs of loosening, gently wipe it off with a damp cloth. 2. Use a soft cloth dipped in alcohol to gently wipe the adhesive area. The adhesive will soften and come off easily, and alcohol won't harm plastic parts or the paint surface. However, alcohol may not work on certain types of adhesives. 3. First, heat the adhesive with a towel soaked in hot water or a hairdryer, then peel it off easily. If any residue remains, use substances like essential balm or alcohol to wipe it off. 4. Use high-quality transparent tape to stick onto the residual adhesive. This method is usually effective for fresh adhesive stains, but not as effective for older stains that have bonded strongly with the car body.

What are the vehicle emission standards?

Vehicle emission standards include National I, National II, National III, National IV, National V, and National VI. Currently, the domestic vehicle emission standards are National V and National VI. The National V emission standard was officially implemented on January 1, 2017, while the National VI standard was implemented in 2020. The National V vehicle emission standard is equivalent to the Euro V standard in the European Union, imposing stricter limits on hydrocarbon, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, and particulate emissions from motor vehicles. From National I to National V, each upgrade in the standard reduces single-vehicle pollutants by 30% to 50%. Compared to the National V emission standard, the National VI emission standard is more stringent in terms of testing standards and pollutant emissions. The test cycle has been changed from NEDC to WLTC standards, with the addition of real-world driving emission tests. The pollutant limits are stricter, with a 40% to 50% increase in stringency compared to National V. The CO and HC limits are about one-third stricter than those of National V.

Where Are the Side Airbags Located?

Side airbags are primarily installed on the outer side of the seats, mainly to mitigate the impact from side collisions. By deploying, they can directly reduce the impact between the body and the door panel, effectively protecting the safety of passengers. Most high-end vehicles are equipped with this type of airbag, which is mainly installed near the window side. Typically, more than seven sensors are set up in the vehicle. When impact signals are received, these airbags will automatically deploy. The system mainly consists of sensors, a microprocessor, a gas generator, and the airbag itself. The sensors and microprocessor are primarily responsible for assessing the severity of the collision. Through signal transmission and reception, the system triggers the ignition operation, using solid fuel to inflate the airbag, causing it to rapidly expand to its standard capacity.

How to Solve Excessive NO in Exhaust Gas?

Solutions for excessive NO in exhaust gas: 1. First, accurately determine the cause of the excess based on the steady-state simplified working condition test values of the exhaust gas; 2. If the three-way catalytic converter has failed, further determine whether it is reversible or irreversible failure. Use a three-way maintenance agent to perform maintenance on the engine. If a strong sulfur dioxide odor is emitted during the maintenance process, it indicates reversible failure; otherwise, it is irreversible; 3. Reversible failure of the three-way catalytic converter can be resolved using a three-way regeneration agent product through three-way regeneration maintenance. If the vehicle has been driven for more than 100,000 kilometers, simultaneous three-way cleaning maintenance is required; 4. For irreversible failure of the three-way catalytic converter, it must be replaced. Always opt for an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement to minimize the risk of future failures.
