Hello, I was an Autopia member back in 2004 and have just returned (under a new name). Can someone help me with a quick question. What is the name of the piece of equipment that is used to determine the thickness of the paint? I recall this device can be used to determine if someone has "burned through" the clear coat. Any help would be appreciated. :nixweiss

"PTG"

"Paint Thickness Gauge"



F.Y.I. if someone had burned the paint

you should be able to see it

Thanks. He was more worried that his clear coat has been "compromised". A body shop "fixed" a key scratch in his door and he believes that when they buffed his car afterwards, they burnt through his clear coat. Thank you for your help in such a timely manner.
