What procedures are required for repainting a mortgaged vehicle?

[StCorey]

Under the condition that the vehicle's green book is mortgaged, color change is not permitted. Only after the mortgage loan is fully repaid can the color change registration be filed. The following documents must be submitted when applying for a change in the vehicle's body color: The 'Motor Vehicle Change Registration Application Form.' Original and photocopy of the identity proof of the vehicle owner and agent. Original vehicle registration certificate. Original vehicle license. All fines prior to the color change must be paid. If the color change area of the vehicle does not exceed 30%, there is no need to apply for a change registration. Conversely, if it exceeds 30%, it must be filed and registered within 10 days after the vehicle is repainted. Notes on vehicle repainting: Before repainting the vehicle, it is necessary to consult with the vehicle management office where the vehicle is registered to confirm whether the local area allows the use of film wrapping to change the vehicle's color. If the area does not support this method, the filing procedure cannot be processed after the color change, and the film must be completely removed to restore the vehicle's original color. Additionally, according to Article 10 of 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's color, install body kits, replace the engine, etc., and then apply to the vehicle management office for a change registration. According to Article 10, if a registered motor vehicle falls under any of the following circumstances, the owner must apply to the local vehicle management office for a change registration: 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 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 be painted with designated patterns and equipped with alarms and signal lights as required. Other motor vehicles are prohibited from painting, installing, or using patterns, alarms, or signal lights that are specific to or resemble those of the aforementioned vehicles.
