How to Prove Your Vehicle's Color Modification?
1 Answers
After completing the color modification, it is essential to obtain a receipt or invoice from the modification shop. When questioned by traffic police, proactively providing this document usually avoids complications. If unsure whether the modified color complies with filing standards, it's advisable to first call or visit the local vehicle management office for clarification. Generally, as long as the color isn't unconventional like chameleon or electroplated, it can usually be filed. Below is additional information: 1. Regulations on vehicle color modification: According to the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law Implementation Regulations", vehicle color can be changed. The body, frame, engine, or entire vehicle can also be modified if they are damaged and unusable. However, other vehicle components are prohibited from unauthorized modifications. Regarding vehicle colors, three types cannot be approved: red, reserved for firefighting; yellow, for engineering rescue; and white upper with blue lower, for national administrative law enforcement. For color modifications, relevant documents must be submitted to the vehicle management office for change registration within 10 working days post-modification. Failure to register the color change as required incurs a 200 yuan fine. 2. Documents required for color modification: Materials needed for the color change procedure include: original "Motor Vehicle Change Registration/Record Application Form", original and copy of the vehicle owner's identity proof, vehicle license, original and copy of the vehicle registration certificate, original vehicle inspection record form (with standard photos of the vehicle after color change and frame number imprint), one standard photo of the vehicle after color change. If a friend is handling the process on your behalf, their ID must also be brought.
