The "Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form," identity proofs of the vehicle owner and agent, the motor vehicle registration certificate, and the motor vehicle license are the necessary procedures for applying to change the color of a motor vehicle. 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%, it is not necessary to go through the modification registration. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, it must be filed and recorded, and registration must be completed within 10 days after the vehicle color change. Precautions for vehicle wrap color changes: Before preparing to change the color of a vehicle wrap, it is necessary to consult the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to determine whether the region allows motor vehicles to change color using wraps. If the region does not support this method, after modification, the filing procedures cannot be processed, and the only option is to completely remove the wrap and restore the vehicle's original color. Additionally, 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 must apply for modification registration with the local vehicle management office under the following circumstances: Changing the body color. Replacing the engine. Replacing the body or frame. Replacing the entire vehicle due to quality issues. Changing the use nature, such as converting a commercial vehicle to a non-commercial vehicle or vice versa. The 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 and install alarms and signal lights as required. Other motor vehicles are not allowed to spray, install, or use emblem patterns, alarms, or signal lights that are specific 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 modification registration as required, the public security traffic management department will issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to revert to its original color.
