For vehicles under financing, registration can only be processed with the motor vehicle registration certificate as per procedural regulations. 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 change registration is required. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, it must be registered and filed within 10 days after the color change. 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 registration procedure cannot be processed after the color change, and the film must be completely removed to restore the original color of the vehicle. Documents required for applying to change the body color of a motor vehicle: "Motor Vehicle Change 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. Pay all fines before the color change. Additionally, according to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", owners are allowed to change the vehicle color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., before applying for change registration with the vehicle management office. According to Article 10, registered motor vehicles must apply for change registration with the local vehicle management office in the following cases: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Whole vehicle replacement due to quality issues. Change of use nature, such as commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial 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 spray emblem patterns and install alarms and warning lights as required. Other motor vehicles must not spray, install, or use emblem patterns, alarms, or warning lights that are specific to or similar to those vehicles. According to Article 56 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the body color is changed without following the required change registration procedure, 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 the original body color.
