1 Answers
After applying a wrap at a certified modification shop, the shop will provide the owner with a receipt or invoice. Within 10 days from the date of issuance of the invoice, the owner can go to the vehicle management office for registration. According to Article 56 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles," if the vehicle body color is changed without completing the registration for modification, the traffic management department of the public security authority may issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to revert to its original color. To apply for a change in the vehicle body color, the following documents must be submitted in accordance with the "Road Traffic Safety Law": "Application Form for Modification Registration of Motor Vehicles," identity proof of the vehicle owner and agent, the vehicle registration certificate, and the vehicle license. According to Article 6, Chapter 2 of 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%, the change must be recorded, and registration must be completed within 10 days after the color change. Precautions for vehicle color change: Before changing the color of a motor vehicle, the owner should consult the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to confirm whether the region permits color changes via wraps. If the region does not support this method, the modification cannot be registered, and the wrap must be completely removed to restore the original color. Additionally, according to the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles," owners no longer need 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 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. Whole vehicle replacement due to quality issues. Change of usage nature, such as converting a commercial vehicle to non-commercial or vice versa. Change of the vehicle owner's residence, moving in or out of 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 designated patterns and equipped with alarms and indicator lights as required. Other motor vehicles are prohibited from using similar patterns, alarms, or indicator lights.
