Yes, motorcycles can be repainted. As motor vehicles, changing the color of a motorcycle requires applying for a modification of the vehicle's body color. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," the following documents must be submitted: "Application Form for Vehicle Modification Registration," identity proofs of the vehicle owner and agent, the vehicle registration certificate, and the vehicle license. According to Article 6, Chapter 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," if the color change area of a motor vehicle does not exceed 30%, no modification registration is required. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, the change must be recorded, and registration must be completed within 10 days after the color change. Notes on vehicle color changes: Before repainting, the owner should consult the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to confirm whether the region permits changing the vehicle color using wraps. If the region does not allow this method, the modification cannot be registered, and the wrap must be completely removed to restore the original color. Additionally, according to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," owners no longer need to apply in advance to the vehicle management office. They can first change the vehicle color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., and then apply for modification registration. According to Article 10, registered motor vehicles must apply for modification registration under the following circumstances: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Whole vehicle replacement due to quality issues. Change of usage nature, such as converting a commercial vehicle to non-commercial or vice versa. Change of the owner's residence outside or into the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office. Furthermore, according to Article 15 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles must display designated patterns, install alarms, and warning lights as required. Other motor vehicles are prohibited from using similar patterns, alarms, or warning lights. According to Article 56 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," if the body color is changed without proper modification registration, the traffic management department of the public security authority may issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to revert to the original color.
