Paint thickness

[a1machinista1]

I had a ETG electronic thickness gauge sitting in my garage that a friend gave me so I figured I would see what Tesla has compared to a couple of my other cars.
1. 2016 Hyundai Genesis 3.8 AWD Sedan (Gray) 6.0 mil
2. 2021 Model Y (white) 4.2 mil
3. My old trusty 1992 Toyota 4Runner 4.4 mil

I wonder if it can read the 8 mil thick PPF I have on mine

Paint thickness can vary greatly from panel to panel. It would be more interesting to see multiple readings per car taken from the same spots around the vehicles.

I didn’t want to worry about it, or have to polish anymore. IMO PPF is the way to go. Lock that paint in and who cares what the thickness is.
