Is Vehicle Wrapping Color Change Subject to Registration?

[OEmilia]

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%, no registration for modification is required. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, it must be registered and filed, and the registration must be completed within 10 days after the vehicle color change. Precautions for Vehicle Wrapping Color Change: Before applying a vehicle wrap to change the color of a motor vehicle, it is necessary to consult the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to determine whether the region permits changing the vehicle color through wrapping. If the region does not support this method, the registration procedure cannot be completed after the modification, and the wrap must be entirely removed to restore the vehicle's original color. Documents Required for Applying to Change the Body Color of a Motor Vehicle: "Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form." Identity proofs and copies of the motor vehicle owner and agent. Motor vehicle registration certificate. Motor vehicle driving license. Additionally, according to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," vehicle owners are no longer required to apply in advance to the vehicle management office. They can first change the vehicle color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., and then apply to the vehicle management office for modification registration. According to Article 10, registered motor vehicles must apply for modification registration with the local vehicle management office under the following circumstances: Change of body color. Replacement of the engine. Replacement of the body or frame. Whole vehicle replacement due to quality issues. Change of use nature, such as converting a commercial vehicle to a non-commercial vehicle or vice versa. The motor 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 designated patterns and equipped with alarms and signal lights as required. Other motor vehicles are prohibited from painting, installing, or using patterns, alarms, or signal lights exclusive to or similar to those of the aforementioned vehicles. Article 56 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" stipulates that if the body color is changed without completing the modification registration as required, the public security traffic management department may issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to revert to its original body color.
