Do you have to notify the DMV after a color-change wrap?

It depends on your state. Some states require you to update the color on your registration after a full color-change wrap, while others don't treat a removable wrap as a color change at all. Check your state DMV's rules — a mismatched color can cause friction at traffic stops or when selling the vehicle.
