[Chad]

For financed vehicles, according to procedural regulations, the vehicle registration certificate is required for 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%, it does not need to be registered for modification. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, it must be filed and registered within 10 days after the vehicle color is changed. Precautions for vehicle color change: Before preparing to change the color of a motor vehicle, it is necessary to consult the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to see if the region allows the use of film to change the vehicle color. If the region does not support this method, the modification cannot be registered after the color change, and the film must be completely removed to restore the vehicle's original color. Documents required for applying to change the body color of a motor vehicle: "Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form." Original and photocopy of the identity proof of the motor vehicle owner and agent. Original motor vehicle registration certificate. Original motor vehicle driving license. Payment of all fines before the color change. Additionally, according to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," owners are allowed to first change the vehicle color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., and then apply to the vehicle management office 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. Replacement of the entire vehicle due to quality issues. Change of use, such as converting a commercial vehicle to a non-commercial vehicle or vice versa. The motor vehicle owner's residence moves out of 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 be painted with specified patterns and equipped with alarms and signal lights as required. Other motor vehicles must not be painted, equipped, or use patterns, alarms, or signal lights that are exclusive to or similar to those of the aforementioned vehicles. Article 56 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" states that if the body color is changed without going through the modification registration as required, the public security traffic management department will issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to revert to its original color.
