It can't mean that; you'd have to ask *chay' nguvmoHlu'pu'* /how has one
tinted it? /to get that.

That's really awful.
Your first instinct was correct. KGT tells us:
There is, however, a verb, *nguv,* which means something like “be
dyed, stained, tinted,” though it is seldom used except in the
phrase *chay’ nguv* (“How is [it] tinted?”) or when suffixed with
*-moH* (“cause”) in the form *nguvmoH *(“dye, tint, stain”; that is,
“cause to be dyed,” etc.)...

My first instinct on how to ask that question was “chay' nguv?” However, after I asked it that way, I immediately thought to myself that maybe that is asking about the means by which the car is colored (e.g. laSvarghDaq lunguvmoHpu' nguvmoHmeH qoqmey”) rather than its current state of coloration.</pre>
