I have just bought a paint thickness measuring device and have been testing on new and used cars and have some confusing results. On new Toyota and Honda cars the average paint thickness measured 0.1 mm (+/- 0.01mm). While on new Suzuki models it was 0.6 (+/-0.2mm). On old vehicles with the owner claiming original paint was also 0.1 mm thickness. We also tested it on a vehicle having its outer panels changes after accident had a paint thickness less than 0.1 mm. My own car has one panel repainted with filling and it showed that the thickness on that panel is 0.8mm. My question is what should be the average thickness of paint on a vehicle???
