Changing the color of the car roof requires filing for a record. Below is relevant information about car modifications: 1. Changes to the car: Includes altering the body color, replacing the engine, or changing the body or frame. The owner must go to the vehicle management office to complete the change registration within 10 days after the modification. 2. Documents required for car color change: (1) Original and copy of the ID card of the vehicle owner; (2) Vehicle registration certificate; (3) Vehicle license. 3. Points to note when changing the car color: (1) Do not use the same color as special vehicles; (2) Do not install additional modification parts on the exterior; (3) Use a professional color change institution that complies with national regulations.
With years of experience in the automotive modification industry, I've seen many people ask whether changing the color of a car roof requires registration. According to regulations, any change in vehicle body color, including the roof, should be registered with the vehicle management office, as the body color is part of the vehicle's registration information. The registration process is not complicated: go to the local vehicle management office to submit an application, bring the vehicle registration certificate, ID card, and photos of the vehicle, fill out a form explaining the color change, and they may inspect whether the color meets safety standards. The cost is about a few dozen yuan, and it can be completed with some time spent queuing. If not registered, it can easily be detected during the annual inspection, facing fines or vehicle impoundment risks. Moreover, in case of an accident, insurance claims may be disputed. To avoid trouble and ensure safety, I recommend that car owners not take shortcuts, properly register, use legitimate materials for color changes, and avoid overly flashy colors that may affect driving visibility or other drivers.
