【The owner's family car knowledge】This is an era of pursuing individuality. Nowadays, car modification can be seen everywhere. Although the body color modification is a kind of appearance modification, although it has existed for many years, it has only received widespread attention in recent years. Compared with other performance modifications, changing the color of a vehicle can obtain a legal "identity" as long as it is filed in advance. So how to file? Is the process cumbersome? A colleague of mine recently applied for a color change. Here are some precautions listed here for those who have ideas about color change as a reference.
The filing of car body color changes is still relatively a niche business, and the color changes involve many specific situations. We checked the relevant regulations and did not find the complete and detailed official regulations for the color change application, and we did not rule out the possibility of differences in local regulations. , So the owner is recommended to consult the local vehicle management department before changing the color
● Preparation
Prepare the required materials: there are not many materials needed to go through the color change procedures. The vehicle driving permit, the owner's ID card and the vehicle registration certificate (green copy) are enough. If a friend does it for you, the agent's ID card should also be brought.
Keep the car body clean: As the driving license needs to be changed, photos and appearance inspections will be carried out before handling the business. This is the same as the appearance inspection during the car inspection. Therefore, it is important to keep the car body clean. It is recommended to wash the car in advance.
Clearing up violations in advance: Same as the normal annual inspection, verification of vehicle information and violation information will be carried out, so do not forget to clear up violations in advance.
● Process:
Appearance inspection: The process is the same as that of the annual inspection. Number extension, photographing, and appearance modification links cannot pass the inspection and need to be restored to the original factory in advance. It takes about 20 minutes.
Fill in the application form: there is an application form for changing the color in the business hall, fill it out and send it to the processing window for review and issue a new driving permit.
License issuance fee: Under normal circumstances, the new driving license can be successfully processed for about half an hour, and only a cost of 15 yuan is required to complete the transaction.
★ A few notes:
1. Changing the regular color can be "cut before play":
If the color of the changed vehicle is a regular color, such as white, black, etc., you can change the color of the vehicle first, and go directly to the vehicle management office to go through the relevant change procedures, and you can complete it on the same day. If it is not common to change the color, it is recommended to bring the "color card" to the vehicle management office to apply first, and then change the color and the subsequent process after approval. Although it is time-consuming and labor-intensive in comparison, it is safer.
2. It is not allowed to change the color of the film:
In recent years, with the rise of the car body film color change business, the color change of the car body has been widely concerned. However, the color change of the car body film is actually not allowed. It is not that the technology is immature, but because of safety considerations, the film can be applied at any time. Easily tear off the film. When there is a traffic accident and other accidents, it will be more difficult to find the car that caused the accident. However, we also understand that a small range of the same color film may be allowed after application.
3. One car with multiple colors, special colors and markings are not allowed:
Some car owners who are pursuing individuality prefer to change the color of the vehicle in different areas. For example, the roof and machine cover, including the body, use a variety of different colors. What's more, imitating the color or even the logo of special vehicles such as police cars and fire trucks is not allowed.
4. The vehicle can only be inspected within 3 working days after the change:
Some friends rush to apply for a color change before the car inspection, hoping to complete the application and inspect the car as soon as possible. In the vehicle management system, the color change application requires 3 working days to complete the data and information filing. Therefore, the normal annual inspection can be carried out at least 3 working days after the color change is completed and the filing is completed.
From the perspective of the business process and the handling situation, the application for the color change of the body is a very simple business, which costs less and takes a short time. Generally, it can be completed on the same day. However, although the color change of the car body has received attention, it is still not widely used. There are many details and specific issues involved. There are currently no detailed regulations for everyone to inquire. More often, the DMV will depend on the specific situation and will not rule out regional meetings. There may be discrepancies in the regulations, it is recommended to consult the local vehicle management department before changing the color and filing.
