For sure, the clearcoat on cars these days is super thin. Factory paint is like one coat of primer, two coats of color and probably not even a coat of clear. I'm no painter, but I've seen a good $3,000 paint job done in person and its like 8 coats of color and 5 coats of clear with lots of color sanding in between. Just spraying the paint alone took something like 10 hours straight.
My '86 900S had a factory paint job that was so thick, you could easily buff out any rock chips or even small scrapes from shopping carts. Depending on the angle of the sun, the effect was amazing. When my warranty runs out, I plan to get a custom paint job to go with the rebuilt engine and chassis. To give it the treatment it deserved from the beginning. Anyone watch Biker Buildoff last week with the fish-net effect on the gas tank? I want that for the hood, oh yeah...
