The procedures required for changing the color of a car are: 1. Prepare the necessary materials: vehicle license, the owner's ID card, and the vehicle registration certificate (green book). If a friend is handling it on your behalf, the agent's ID card must also be carried; 2. Keep the car body clean: Since the vehicle license needs to be updated, photos and an appearance inspection will be conducted before processing the business; 3. Fill out the application form: There is an application form for color change in the business hall. After completing the form, submit it to the processing window and wait for review and issuance of a new vehicle license; 4. Certificate issuance and fee payment: Normally, it takes about half an hour for the new vehicle license to be processed successfully, and a handling fee is required. Once all the procedures are completed, the entire process is finished.
As someone who frequently handles car modifications, I've seen many friends change their car's color. The procedure is actually quite simple: after changing to the new color, you need to file a record at the vehicle management office within 15 days, bringing your ID card, vehicle registration certificate, driving license, and insurance policy. The first step is a color inspection—you can't choose overly flashy colors or police car-like blue, otherwise, you'll have to redo it; the second step is taking photos and inspecting the car to ensure there are no other issues; finally, updating the driving license costs around 100 yuan, and the whole process can be completed in half a day. Don't forget to clean the car before taking photos, as dust can affect approval. After changing the color, it's best to inform the insurance company to avoid disputes during claims. I recommend choosing low-key colors like gray or black first, as they are less likely to cause problems. Filing a record is mandatory; otherwise, if caught on the road, you could be fined 200 yuan or even get points deducted, and the time wasted would be troublesome.
