To apply for changing the color of a motor vehicle, according to Article 6 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law", the following documents need to be submitted: "Application Form for Motor Vehicle Modification Registration". Original and photocopy of the identity certificates of the motor vehicle owner and agent. Original motor vehicle registration certificate. Original motor vehicle driving license. 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 go through the modification registration. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, it needs to be filed and registered within 10 days after the vehicle color change. Precautions for vehicle color change: Before preparing to change the color of a motor vehicle, it is necessary to consult the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to see if the region allows the use of film wrapping to change the vehicle color. If the region does not support this method, the modification filing procedure cannot be processed after the color change, and the film must be completely removed to restore the original color of the vehicle. In addition, according to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", 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 to the vehicle management office for modification registration. According to Article 10, registered motor vehicles with the following circumstances shall apply for modification registration to the vehicle management office at the place of registration: 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 commercial motor vehicles changed to non-commercial or non-commercial motor vehicles changed to commercial. The motor vehicle owner's residence moves out of or into the jurisdiction area 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 shall be painted with emblem patterns and equipped with alarms and emblem lights as prescribed. Other motor vehicles shall not be painted with, equipped with, or use the emblem patterns, alarms, or emblem lights exclusively for the aforementioned vehicles or similar ones. Article 56 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" states that if the body color is changed without going through the modification registration as required, the public security traffic management department shall issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to restore the original body color.
