ya u doDo you have to let the DMV know that you painted your car?
if you are painted the same color of your car then i dont think its necessary to inform, as its a rule you have to keep your car clean while you are passing... but if its the other color you have choosen to paint.. then it depends according to the different countries law
NO!
Not in California. CA Dmv does not keep track of the color of your car.
Same color? No. But it's a good idea to have the color of your car match the discription and plate number on your registration.
not in california, until next registration.
If you changed the color yes. If just a fresh coat of the same color, no.
it's not part of ca record. former insurance investigator
Check with the DMV if you changed the color. If your registration lists the color, you should notify them. Reason: If a cop runs a routine ';make'; on your vehicle and the color doesn't match up there's a much greater chance that you'll be pulled over. If everything else checks out, you'll be on your way quickly, but why risk the hassle?
You don't have to unless they ask. It all depends on the state you live in also.
Some states list the color of the vehicle on the registration, some do not. Check with your state's DMV to see what is required in your state.
That wasn't on the form (CA)
if any vehicle is painted a differant color there is no law you have to report it. its best to let them know when you renew your tag. so if your stopped, you don't get the hassel of showing vin numbers and everything. i have a two tone cream colored van but its listed as brown even though its not. i know of many friends that painted their vehicles a new color and let dmv know after they renewed the tag. you can always call your local dmv, which in most states is now apart of the tax office.
