The required documents for applying to change the body color of a motor vehicle include: "Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form", identity proofs and copies of the vehicle owner and agent, motor vehicle registration certificate, and motor vehicle 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%, no modification registration is required. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, it must be filed and registered within 10 days after the vehicle color change. Precautions for changing vehicle color with film: Before preparing to change the vehicle color with film, it is necessary to consult the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to confirm whether this method of color change is permitted in the region. If the region does not support this method, the modification cannot be filed, and the film must be completely removed to restore the original vehicle color. Additionally, according to 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 modification registration with the vehicle management office. 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 commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use or vice versa. Change of the vehicle owner's residence in or out of 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 specified patterns and equipped with alarms and signal lights as required. Other motor vehicles are prohibited from using patterns, alarms, or signal lights that are exclusive to or similar to those of the aforementioned vehicles. Article 56 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" states that if the body color is changed without completing the required modification registration, 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 color.
