Installing a sunshade on a motorcycle is illegal. Illegal vehicle modifications: Privately installed sun and rain shields alter the motorcycle's body structure, making it prone to imbalance and skidding due to wind resistance during riding. Additionally, the sharp edges of illegally installed rain shields can easily cause injuries to people while riding, posing significant safety hazards. This falls under the category of illegal modifications and is therefore a violation of the law. Prohibited by law: China's Road Traffic Safety Law prohibits the illegal installation of rain shields on motorcycles. According to relevant legal provisions, illegal installation of rain shields on motorcycles will result in fines. Drivers must not install non-compliant devices without authorization and must consciously comply with road traffic safety laws and regulations, voluntarily removing any illegal installations.

As a guy who's been riding motorcycles for over a decade, I have to say installing sunshades is indeed illegal. According to traffic regulations, motorcycles cannot have their body structure modified without authorization, and sunshades are considered illegal modifications because they increase wind resistance and affect stability, especially during high-speed riding or windy days, which may lead to rollover accidents. I personally experienced this once when I went out with a sunshade installed, and the wind made it sway uncontrollably. Fortunately, nothing bad happened. If caught by traffic police, you'll usually be fined over 200 yuan, and may even get points deducted. Doing this long-term also increases accident risks. I suggest everyone not to seek temporary comfort—using sunscreen clothing and helmets is safer and compliant, protecting yourself and avoiding trouble.

What to do if a small piece of paint falls off the car door?

The solutions for a small piece of paint falling off the car door are: 1. For minor and shallow scratches, such as sun swirls, which only damage the surface layer of the paint, these scratches cause minimal damage to the paint and are relatively easy to repair—simply waxing can solve the issue; 2. For deeper scratches that expose the primer, avoid polishing if possible, and it is recommended to use a touch-up pen for repainting; 3. For scratches or scrapes that expose the primer, the first step is to prevent rust. Scratches exposing the primer can be addressed using the method mentioned in the second point. Generally, parts like the bumper, rearview mirrors, and wheel arches on some cars are made of engineering plastic and will not rust; 4. For dents or deformed scrapes, these damages are usually difficult to repair perfectly on your own and require professional auto repair services. Typically, the process involves bodywork treatment followed by repainting.

What Exactly Lies Beneath the Automotive Primer?

Automotive paint typically consists of at least four layers: multi-layer paint, primer, topcoat, and color coat, each serving distinct functions. While the colors of the topcoat and color coat are usually visible to the naked eye, the primer's color only becomes apparent when the surface is scratched. The automotive primer is the first layer applied to the car body, and it must be sprayed before proceeding to subsequent painting processes. As the foundational layer, the primer primarily serves to protect the car body. The primer comes into direct contact with the car body, which is primarily made of metal. This necessitates that the primer possesses excellent anti-corrosion and anti-rust properties, as well as strong adhesion to both the car body and the topcoat. Modern primers can generally be categorized into dip primer, water-based dip primer, anodic electrodeposition primer, and cathodic electrodeposition primer. Most passenger cars use cathodic electrodeposition primer, which is typically white or gray, depending on the vehicle model. For example, black cars often use white primer, while white cars may opt for gray primer—this distinction aids in identifying the primer when the paint is scratched. Regardless of whether the primer is exposed, deep scratches should be repaired to prevent rust and maintain aesthetics. If the metal body is exposed, even slightly, immediate repair is necessary to prevent further damage.

Is it necessary to repair bumper scratches?

Bumper scratches can be repaired if they affect the appearance of the car body; if they do not affect the appearance, they can be left unrepaired, depending on the owner's preference. The bumper is a plastic component, and scratches can damage the paint surface, exposing the black plastic underneath, which may affect the car's aesthetics. If the bumper is scratched, it can be repaired by repainting the entire bumper at a 4S shop. The car bumper is a safety device designed to absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the front and rear of the car body. It consists of three parts: the outer panel, buffer material, and crossbeam. The outer panel and buffer material are made of plastic, while the crossbeam is formed from cold-rolled sheet metal pressed into a U-shaped channel. The outer panel and buffer material are attached to the crossbeam.
