   Every person owning and/or operating a tow truck under a license from the City may adopt any trade name, design, color scheme or method of painting or lettering such tow trucks that is approved by the Director of Public Safety.

All required lettering shall be of such color as in the opinion of the Director will contrast distinctly with the color of the body of the tow truck. Whenever the word "paint" or "painted" is used in this chapter, it means the application of coloring matter in oil solution, not water solution, but decals may be used instead of paint.
   (b)   The owner of the tow truck may have until the second annual inspection to comply with the size requirement for lettering if at the time of the original inspection the tow truck is lettered with a trade name, business address and telephone number.
