  Dreamy volcanic ash, colorful golden blue, cherry blossom powder, glacier blue, emerald... Nowadays, you can see highly personalized color-changing vehicles passing by on the street from time to time.

In recent years, due to the advantages of diverse colors, convenient replacement, and low price, color-changed clothing has gradually become popular in the market and has won the favor of a group of car owners who pursue personalized, especially models like Tesla Model 3, Wuling Hongguang Mini, BMW Mini and other models. It has become a big change in color.

  However, after choosing some personalized colors such as partial gradients and reflective color changes, "difficult to file" is a problem encountered by many car owners, and they can only "open in black" after changing the color.

The reporter's investigation found that there are currently inconsistent standards for the color change filing of vehicles where vehicle management offices are located across the country.

In this regard, car owners and vehicle modification practitioners hope that the color filing standards can be relaxed and unified.

Thousands of dollars can be attached to change the color of the car jacket

  Want to change the color of the vehicle to spray paint?

Then your idea is out of date.

Nowadays, if you want to change your car into a color you like, you can choose the economical, convenient and quick solution of attaching the car jacket.

A month ago, Mr. Zhang, a citizen, bought a Tesla Model 3. When choosing a vehicle, Mr. Zhang learned that in addition to black, vehicles of white, blue, red and other colors required an additional price of 8,000 yuan.

"With this 8,000 yuan, I might as well stick the car jacket, the price is cheaper." Mr. Zhang decisively placed an order for a black car without a price increase.

  After completing the procedures for the driving license and license plate of the new car, Mr. Zhang immediately found a vehicle modification shop and chose a ghost metal khaki gray jersey for his car.

"It took two days to paste the car jacket and it cost 5,000 yuan. After two years, I just took it off if I didn't like it, and it didn't affect the original car paint." Mr. Zhang felt that the color change scheme of the car suit satisfies his own personalization. Demand, and high cost performance.

  Nowadays, there are not a few car owners like Mr. Zhang who change the color of the car after buying it, especially the streamlined or cute models such as Model 3 and Wuling Hongguang Mini, which have become major color changers.

Mr. Du is the owner of a car modification shop. He told reporters that nowadays, customers drive their cars to the shop to change colors. Because of the high demand, there are thousands of colors for car jackets to choose from.

Some vehicles encountered difficulties in filing after changing colors

  In order to continuously meet the individual needs of car owners, the color of the color-changed car jacket has been enriched in recent years. In addition to the introduction of more colors such as electro-optical yellow, emerald, and Sahara yellow, some gradual, color-changing, colorful and other car jackets have also been introduced.

"For example, this year's fantasy series of jerseys are particularly popular. This set of jerseys includes dreamy volcanic ash, dreamy rock ash and other colors." Mr. Du said that in the absence of strong light, the vehicle appears light gray as a whole, but it will reflect light in the sun. Pink, light blue and other colors.

This kind of color-changing jersey allows the vehicle to have two or more colors at once, which is liked by many consumers.

  However, choosing this type of jersey may encounter difficulties in filing at the DMV.

According to relevant regulations, within 10 days after changing the color of the vehicle, you must go to the local vehicle management office to apply for the color change record, take a photo again, and replace the driving book.

However, in June of this year, when Mr. Du drove a vehicle with a "colorful golden blue" jersey to the Beijing DMV for filing, he was directly "persuaded to leave."

  The reason for "persuading withdrawal" is gradual change.

After attaching the car jacket, the front of the car looks golden, but the side is blue. It is difficult to show two colors in the recorded pictures.

After that, when there is a car owner who chooses to change the color or gradation of the car, Mr. Du will inform in advance that there may be a risk of not being able to file for the record.

"Some car owners, in pursuit of personalization, take a chance and don't file a'dark drive' after posting. Generally, if there is no accident, they are unlikely to be punished." Mr. Du said.

  Can discoloration jerseys not be filed?

The reporter recently went to the Jingchao Automobile Management Office for consultation. The staff told the reporter that the current standard is relatively broad, and most of the car clothing can basically be filed.

"Large areas such as fantasy volcanic ash that look gray can also be filed." The staff member said that generally there are only metallic colors that are too reflective, colors that are difficult to define after taking pictures, too many body colors, and vehicles with stickers. Proprietary signs such as police cars and ambulances cannot be filed.

There are pine and strict car owners looking forward to unification

  Although some DMV gave the green light to individual color-changing clothing, the reporter's investigation found that there is no uniform nationwide rule on whether DMV grants the record.

Take this year's most popular fantasy volcanic ash car jacket as an example. Mr. Yao, a car owner in Fuxin City, Liaoning Province, reported on social media that after posting the fantasy volcanic ash car jacket at a refit shop in Shenyang, he was rejected when he went to the Shenyang local vehicle management office for filing.

However, some Tianjin car owners left a message saying that they had successfully put on the volcanic ash car jacket and successfully filed it with the local car management office. The color was remarked as "powder gray".

  Even different vehicle management offices in the same area may have loose and strict management.

The owner of Xi’an car with the online name "Bright Eyes, Big Eyes, Little Smelly", described his bumpy color change experience on the Internet: "Because the fantasy volcanic ash color is a bit gradual, I ran the DMV three times before successfully filing. The first time was because there was no gradual change. I made an appointment. I was told that the color was changed for the second time and that it could not be filed. As a result, some kind people told me to go to other DMV to file for the file. I went there and finally filed successfully."

  "Actually, in my opinion, vehicles have information such as license plates and frame numbers, and the colors can be less realistic." In an industry insider's opinion, the market for modified cars that has emerged with the rise of the auto market is also becoming more and more large, in order to satisfy The citizens' demand for individualization hopes that the color filing management can be improved, and it can once again stimulate the development of the consumer market after the vehicle is purchased.

  In fact, the reporter has learned that in recent years, my country has gradually liberalized the car modification that does not affect driving, such as vehicle interiors, wheels, and colors, and the scale of the car modification market is steadily expanding.

According to preliminary calculations by the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, my country's auto modification market will reach 65.2 billion yuan in 2020, a year-on-year increase of 7.1%, and auto modification is becoming the main consumer in the automotive aftermarket.
