Can the vehicle color be changed?
2 Answers
Owners are allowed to change the color of their vehicles first and then complete the registration process. Below is relevant information: 1. Handling method: The vehicle color can be changed, but within ten days after the color change, the owner must bring the "Motor Vehicle Change Registration/Record Application Form," the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's identity proof, the original "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate," the original "Motor Vehicle License," etc., to the vehicle management office to complete the change registration. 2. Relevant regulations: According to the new "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," owners do not need to apply to the vehicle management office for a color change. However, for safety reasons, owners can also register at the local vehicle management office before changing the color of their vehicle. After changing the body color, they can then go to the vehicle management office to update the vehicle photo on the driving license.
You can definitely change your car's color! I'm someone who loves customizing my car, and last year I changed mine from white to blue. There are mainly two methods: repainting or wrapping. Repainting is more thorough but costs more, ranging from several thousand to over ten thousand yuan, with a longer-lasting effect. Wrapping is more economical, costing around one to two thousand yuan, and you can peel it off anytime to change the color. However, after changing the color, you must register the change at the local vehicle management office by bringing your vehicle registration certificate and ID card for documentation. Otherwise, you could face fines if caught, and it may also affect your annual inspection. I also recommend avoiding overly flashy colors to prevent impacting the resale value, as dark or bright colors require more maintenance. Additionally, don’t forget to inform your insurance company to update their records—this ensures smoother claims in case of an accident. Overall, it’s quite convenient, and changing colors periodically can keep your car feeling fresh.
