I have been thinking after the 2 year mark maybe get another clear coat on my car if at all possible.
The best way to determine your paint thickness is to actually measure it. Companies like DeFelsko make gauges that can show an accurate picture of what you have to work with. The hardcore will measure an entire vehicle and have readout of how the vehicle is painted. Remember, that additional paint work might have been done at the dealership because of lot or transport damage. I will try find a good post that shows how the pros do it.
