It is not recommended to apply a color-changing film to a new car, but you can do so if you like, depending on your needs. Applying a color-changing film to a car: Applying a color-changing film to a car requires registration at the vehicle management office. According to current motor vehicle registration regulations, if the area of the color change does not exceed 30% of the vehicle's body, no change registration is required. If the color change exceeds 30%, it must be registered at the vehicle management office, and the new color must be one that was originally registered when the vehicle left the factory. Documents required for registration: The owner should go to the vehicle management office for change registration within ten days after the color change. The following documents are required: the original and a copy of the owner's identity proof, the motor vehicle registration certificate, and the motor vehicle driving license. If the process is handled by an agent, a power of attorney and the original and a copy of the agent's identity proof are also required.
Should a new car be wrapped with a color change film? I think the key lies in personal needs. If you prefer personalization, a color change film can make your car stand out and also protect the original factory paint from small stones or minor scratches. The paint on a new car is already fresh from the factory, so applying a film adds an extra layer of protection against daily wear and tear. However, the quality of the film matters greatly. I recommend choosing well-known brands and avoiding cheap, inferior films, as they are prone to bubbling or fading. Cost-wise, professional film wrapping is cheaper than a full repaint and saves time. I personally wrapped my new car with a color change film, and after more than a year of use, the film surface remains smooth and easy to clean—just wipe it down when dirty, which is quite hassle-free. However, films are not permanent; they typically last three to five years before aging, after which they need to be replaced.
