An healthy paint should show up around 120 microns on the PTG.
On a three stage paint, the thickness is made up by 25% primer, 25% paint and 50% clear coat.
As a general rule, the bottom of the bonnet is not clear coated, so you can measure there to see how much paint and primer you have. Of course, this is just to help you figure out how much clearcoat you have, but if you want a factual reading then you need another
sort of PTG which will be able to measure all the coats. But get ready to pay around €2000 for one of those
