Anyone would complain when their car gets chipped, scratches, or what ever about the paint thickness, its only natural. And it;s not the EPA, because European cars have significantly more thickness in paint then asian mfgs. For example Nissan/Infiniti spec is minimum 3.5mils total (base, paint, and clear) BMW 5mils of just paint (which only needs about 3/4 of a gallon of paint) before then 1.5-2mils of clear coat, that's significant. Nissan isn't saving the environment by using a couple pounds of paint less, their saving $$.
