How Much Car Color Change Does Not Require Registration?

[William]

If the changed color area does not exceed 30%, registration is not required. 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%, there is no need to apply for a change registration. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, registration is required, and the change must be registered within 10 days after the vehicle color is altered. 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 confirm whether the region allows motor vehicles to change color. If the region does not support this method, the registration procedure cannot be processed after the color change, and the vehicle must be restored to its original color. Documents required for applying to change the body color of a motor vehicle: "Motor Vehicle Change Registration Application Form". Identity proof and copies of the motor vehicle owner and agent. Motor vehicle registration certificate. Motor vehicle driving license. Clearance of all previous fines. Additionally, according to Article 10 of 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 to the vehicle management office for change registration. Furthermore, if a registered motor vehicle falls under any of the following circumstances, the owner must apply to the vehicle management office at the place of registration for change registration: 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 out of or into the jurisdiction of the vehicle management office. Moreover, according to Article 15 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Police cars, fire engines, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles must spray emblem patterns, install alarms, and mark lamps as required. Other motor vehicles are not allowed to spray, install, or use emblem patterns, alarms, or mark lamps that are exclusive to the above-mentioned vehicles or similar to them.
