Not sure if anyone has ever taken the time to post something this detailed with regards to paint thickness readings before, but here it is.
I had just polished off all of the old Gyeon Mohs coating which was applied roughly 5 years ago. Car is a very low mile garage queen, so the old coating was still going strong - simply wanted to try out the new Gyeon Pure Evo. Before the first coating the car received a full two stage (rather light, but the clear was hard as a rock), otherwise 100% original paint.
Gauge used is an Elcometer model # A456CFNFTI1
Last NIST certified calibration was done in April 2023
Measurements taken according to SSPC-PA 2
Second verification using two-point method according to ASTM D7091
Interestingly, I have another Audi from the same era in my driveway with original paint and can confirm the back of the trunk and the roof do indeed measure 15+ microns lower than the rest of the vehicle. I omitted the passenger side readings for sake of redundancy. I would love for some others to maybe add their findings with different makes / models.
