The "Motor Vehicle Modification Registration Application Form", original and photocopies of the identity proofs of the vehicle owner and agent, the motor vehicle registration certificate, and the motor vehicle driving license are the necessary procedures for applying to change the color of a motor vehicle's body. 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 must be filed and recorded, and the registration must be completed within 10 days after the vehicle color change. Precautions for vehicle wrap color change: 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 see if the region allows the use of wraps to change the vehicle color. If the region does not support this method, the modification cannot be filed, and the wrap must be completely removed to 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 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 commercial vehicles converted to non-commercial use or vice versa. The 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 should be painted with specified patterns and equipped with alarms and signal lights as required. Other motor vehicles are not allowed to paint, install, or use the above-mentioned special or similar patterns, alarms, or signal lights. 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 will issue a warning or impose a fine. The vehicle may also be impounded and required to revert to its original color.
