If a motorcycle color change is not registered and is discovered, the penalty is a fine without point deduction. According to Article 56 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle color is altered without completing the required registration change, the traffic management department of the public security authority may issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to revert to its original color. To apply for a motor vehicle color change, the following documents must be submitted in accordance with the "Road Traffic Safety Law": Original "Motor Vehicle Change Registration Application Form". Original and photocopy of the identity documents of the vehicle owner and agent. Original motor vehicle registration certificate. Original motor vehicle license. According to Article 6, Chapter 2 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law", if the color change area of a motor vehicle does not exceed 30%, no registration change is required. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, registration is mandatory and must be completed within 10 days after the color change. Notes on vehicle color change: Before changing the color of a motor vehicle, it is necessary to consult the local vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to confirm whether the region permits color changes using wraps. If the region does not support this method, the registration process cannot be completed after modification, and the wrap must be removed to restore the vehicle's original color. Additionally, according to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", 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 for a registration change with the vehicle management office. According to Article 10, registered motor vehicles must apply for a registration change in the following cases: 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 non-commercial 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 engines, 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 using similar patterns, alarms, or signal lights.
