If the color change is not registered and is caught, the fine is 200 yuan without any points deduction. Article 56 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles" stipulates that if the body color is changed without going through the change registration as required, the traffic management department of the public security organ will issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to be restored to its original color. To apply for a change in the body color of a motor vehicle, the following materials need to be submitted: "Application Form for Change Registration of Motor Vehicles." Proof of identity and copies of the motor vehicle owner and agent. Motor vehicle registration certificate. Motor vehicle driving license and payment of all previous fines for the vehicle. 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 change registration. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, it must be registered and filed, and the registration must be completed within 10 days after the color change. Precautions for vehicle color change: Before changing the color of a motor vehicle, it is necessary to consult the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to confirm whether the region allows the color change of motor vehicles. If the region does not support this method, the registration procedure cannot be completed after the color change, and the vehicle must be restored to its original color. Additionally, according to Article 10 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles," 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 change registration. Moreover, registered motor vehicles must apply for change registration with the local vehicle management office in the following cases: 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 vehicles converted to non-commercial use 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 spray emblem patterns, install alarms, and mark lamps as required. Other motor vehicles must not spray, install, or use emblem patterns, alarms, or mark lamps that are exclusive to the aforementioned vehicles or similar to them.
