How to Handle Vehicle Color Change Procedures?
2 Answers
Vehicle color change procedures are as follows: 1. Make an appointment with the vehicle management office in advance for the application time, then drive to the office during the scheduled time slot; 2. Pay all outstanding fines before the color change, bring the original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's ID card, the original vehicle registration certificate, and the original vehicle license to the guidance counter to obtain the vehicle modification registration application form; 3. If compliant, the applicant can receive an approval notice for the color change; 4. After the color change, the vehicle owner must bring the required documents and invoice, drive the repainted vehicle back to the vehicle management office for inspection procedures, where staff will record the new color, take new photos, and complete the modification registration process.
I previously changed my car's color from silver-gray to red, which took a few days to complete. First, go to an auto repair shop or detailing shop to get the car painted or wrapped to finish the color change, ensuring the color is legal and compliant. Within ten days after the change, you must go to the local vehicle management office to complete the modification procedures, bringing your ID card, vehicle license, vehicle registration certificate, and a copy of the compulsory insurance policy. At the vehicle management office, first fill out the modification application form, then take photos to check if the new body color meets the standards. Staff will inspect for any modifications to restricted areas before signing off. Once done, pay a fee of 50 to 100 yuan to receive a new vehicle license showing the new color information. If you don't complete the procedure, you may face a fine of several hundred yuan or points deducted from your license. It's recommended to go on a weekday morning when there are fewer people for faster service. After the color change, remember to clean the car regularly to keep the paint shiny. Overall, it's not difficult, but don't procrastinate.
