Can a Car Change Color by Applying Film?
1 Answers
It is possible to change a car's color by applying film. However, without approval from the traffic department, a full-body color change may be considered illegal. Currently, full-body color changes are permitted but require registration and filing. With increasingly relaxed modification policies, if the color change via film exceeds 30% of the vehicle's surface, it must be reported to the vehicle management office to update the vehicle registration certificate. Below are the steps for filing a color change via film: 1. If the original vehicle has any outstanding violations, they must be resolved before proceeding. The applicant must then bring the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's identity proof, the vehicle registration certificate, and the vehicle license to the vehicle management office to fill out the 'Motor Vehicle Change Registration Application Form' and submit the application. If approved, the applicant will receive a 'Notice of Approval for Change,' allowing the color change. Note that the new color and patterns must not imitate emergency vehicles such as police cars or fire trucks, and the vehicle color must not exceed three variations. 2. After the color change, the vehicle owner or agent must drive the modified vehicle to the vehicle management office with the required documents and invoice to complete the inspection process. The office staff will record the new color, take new photos, and update the registration details.
