Can I change the color of my car?

You can change the color of your car, but there are a few points to note: 1. The body color must not be the same as or similar to that of special vehicles; 2. The area covered by color-changing film must not exceed one-third of the car body; 3. The car body should not have more than three colors. Before changing the color, you can consult the vehicle management office to confirm whether the selected color is allowed for modification. After receiving a positive response, proceed with the color change and then schedule an appointment to complete the modification registration process. Within ten days after changing the color, you need to bring the completed vehicle modification registration application form, the original and a copy of the vehicle owner's ID, the original vehicle registration certificate, the original vehicle license, and other required documents to the vehicle management office to complete the modification registration.
Yes, you can definitely change the color of your car! As an ordinary car owner who often tinkers with my own vehicle, I repainted my small car from white to navy blue last year, and the whole process was quite interesting. I spent over 2,000 RMB at a professional auto repair shop for the paint job, opting for eco-friendly paint to avoid strong odors. During the process, it's important to sand the old paint surface properly to ensure adhesion. After the color change, the car's paint became much shinier, and I felt as excited as if I had bought a new car. However, remember to go to the DMV to register the color change—just bring your vehicle license and ID card. It costs about 100 RMB but is mandatory; otherwise, you might get points deducted or fined if checked on the road. Also, don’t forget to update your insurance information to avoid issues with claims. Overall, changing the color is a simple way to enhance your car’s appearance, but don’t go for cheap roadside stalls—choose a reputable shop for quality and safety.
