If the damage can be repaired, it's best to avoid repainting. You can use stickers to cover the damaged area, which effectively reduces the appearance of color differences and provides some psychological comfort to the vehicle owner. Regardless of the repair method chosen, it won't have much impact on the vehicle. Here is some additional information on how to protect your vehicle's paint: Applying a paint protection film (PPF) is recommended. PPF can effectively protect the vehicle's paint. In cases of minor scratches that don't damage the paint, the film may get damaged, but the original paint remains unharmed, making it a safe option. Additionally, it helps maintain the gloss of the vehicle's paint, making it a very good method currently available.

Can vehicle color change registration be processed in a different location?

According to Article 56 of the newly revised "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" by the Ministry of Public Security, which came into effect on May 1, 2022, vehicle color change registration can be processed in a different location. For small and micro passenger vehicles applying for registration changes due to body color alterations, if the vehicle is not in the registration location, the application can be submitted to the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is located. The local vehicle management office where the vehicle is located should inspect the motor vehicle according to regulations, review the submitted proofs and credentials, and transfer the electronic inspection data of the motor vehicle to the registration location's vehicle management office. The registration location's vehicle management office will then review and issue the vehicle license according to regulations. The following materials must be submitted when applying for a change in vehicle body color: "Motor Vehicle Change Registration Application Form"; original and photocopies of the identity proofs of the vehicle owner and agent; original motor vehicle registration certificate; original motor vehicle license; and proof of penalty payment before changing the vehicle color. According to Article 6 of Chapter 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law," if the color change area of a motor vehicle does not exceed 30%, there is no need to register the change. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, the change must be registered and filed within 10 days after the vehicle color is changed. Notes on vehicle wrap color changes: Before preparing to change the color of a vehicle wrap, it is necessary to consult the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to confirm whether the local area permits changing vehicle color using wraps. If the area does not support this method, the registration procedure cannot be processed after the color change, and the wrap must be completely removed to restore the vehicle's original color. Additionally, according to Article 10 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," vehicle owners are no longer required 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 a change registration with the vehicle management office. According to Article 10, registered motor vehicles must apply for change registration with the registration location's vehicle management office under the following circumstances: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Replacement of the entire vehicle due to quality issues. Change of use nature, such as converting a commercial vehicle to a non-commercial vehicle or vice versa. The vehicle owner's residence moves out of or into 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 emblem patterns and equipped with alarms and signal lights as required. Other motor vehicles are not allowed to paint, install, or use the specialized emblem patterns, alarms, or signal lights of the aforementioned vehicles or similar ones.
