Can Motorcycles Be Wrapped to Change Color?
1 Answers
Yes, color change is possible. Motorcycles are classified as motor vehicles, and changing the color of a motor vehicle requires applying for a modification of the body color. According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law," the following documents must be submitted: "Application Form for Modification of Motor Vehicle Registration." The ID cards and copies of the motor vehicle owner and agent. The motor vehicle registration certificate. The motor vehicle driving license. Standard photos of the motor vehicle applying for the modification registration. According to Article 6 of 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%, it must be filed and registered within 10 days after the color change. Precautions for vehicle color change: Before changing the color of a motor vehicle, it is necessary to consult the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to determine whether the region allows the use of wraps to change the vehicle color. If the region does not support this method, the modification cannot be filed, and the wrap must be completely removed to restore the original color. Additionally, according to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," owners are no longer required to apply to the vehicle management office in advance. 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 in the following cases: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Replacement of the entire vehicle due to quality issues. Change of use nature, such as converting a commercial vehicle to a non-commercial vehicle or vice versa. Change of the motor vehicle owner's residence into or out of 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 be painted with designated patterns and equipped with alarms and warning lights as required. Other motor vehicles are prohibited from painting, installing, or using patterns, alarms, or warning lights specific to or resembling those of the aforementioned vehicles. According to Article 56 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," if the body color is changed without following the required modification registration procedures, the public security traffic management department may issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to revert to its original color.
