longball53098 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I am planning to have my all black 15 year old Isuzu D Max repainted and change color. Is it required to report the change to DLT and insurance company? Does the DLT charge for the change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthai55 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Take car to DLT. They will inspect and amend the blue book. Charge - unknown. But it will be cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane Dough Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I have seen stickers written in Thai on the back of cars that may be, say, green, that say: "This car is silver". Always wondered if this was part of some legal requirement. Rooster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryPustynskiy Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 You definitely should. Regulations regarding blue/green book color matching the actual color of the vehicle are enforced much more strictly starting this year. One of my friends was unable to pass inspection in order to extend road tax/insurance - the staff said "this year - no go" (funny enough, his motorbike was a factory-tuned British flag-painted one, sold legally through a dealer but with "red" in its green book; apparently were no such color option as "British"). Another one just got a fine in a broad daylight after his book was checked by the cops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthainess Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Yes you need to change the color in the book but on a side note i have an old NV as a workhorse, it has a carboy type cover, but when i went one time to get new tax it wasn't fitted on, they changed the book to say so. Imagine the scenario fit it back on go to LTO 2 hrs drive, its back on, when i get home have to take it off again for some reason and so on ......The two Ronnie's comes to mind or Mr bean perfect TV sketch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ54 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I know a guy with a Ford Ranger tricked out lifeted, big tires etc. Decals or wrap with what looks like mud on the sides, it looks great. The first time I saw it parked on street I said that has to be a foreigner. Met up with later at a bar he’s owns. He said he went to renew registration and they wouldn’t do it because in their estimation it was X percent over the allowed percentage. Another had his mazda wrapped matte black and Cha ged runs. Went to register he had to pay a fine for wrap and was told he had to put the original rims back on.. which the shop kept and no longer had.. didn’t hear the outcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
