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.
Here you go. Because my car is fiberglass, the Positector 300 Advanced is what I have to use. The cool thing about it is it will measure three different items on top of the fiberglass. That means I will know exactly how much base coat AND exactly how much clear coat is on my car, not just one total reading of everything.
