Does Vinyl Wrap Color Change Require Registration?
1 Answers
Whether vinyl wrap color change requires registration depends on whether the altered color area exceeds 30%. According to Article 6 of Chapter 2 in 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%, registration is mandatory and must be completed within 10 days after the color change. Precautions for vehicle vinyl wrap color change: Before applying vinyl wrap to change the vehicle color, owners should consult the local vehicle management office where the car is registered to confirm whether this method of color alteration is permitted in their region. If the area does not allow this method, registration cannot be processed after modification, and the wrap must be completely removed to restore the original vehicle color. Documents required for motor vehicle color change registration: "Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form". Identity documents and copies of both the vehicle owner and their proxy. Motor vehicle registration certificate. Motor vehicle license. Payment receipt for all outstanding fines. Additionally, Article 10 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" allows owners to first modify their vehicle (e.g., color change, body kit installation, engine replacement) before applying for modification registration with the vehicle management office. Registered motor vehicles must apply for modification registration in the following cases: Body color alteration. Engine replacement. Body or frame replacement. Whole vehicle replacement due to quality issues. Change of usage type (e.g., commercial to private or vice versa). Change of owner's residence in/out of the vehicle management office's jurisdiction. Furthermore, Article 15 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states: Emergency vehicles (police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, engineering rescue vehicles) must display designated patterns and install alarms/indicator lights as regulated. Other motor vehicles are prohibited from using similar patterns, alarms, or indicator lights specific to these emergency vehicles.
