Paint depth readings
Butler:
Had a look around an edition 30 and took some readings, inside door jams was 75-85 microns and the panels ranged from 105 on the bonnet to 134 on the sides. Has anyone else took readings just interested to see what others are coming out like.....
Butler:
This is a good read....

When I took mine to VW the other day mine were between 130-145 across all of the panels except my front wing which had (now obviously) been patched at a depth of 280!!
Thats on an '06 GT TDI (Graphite Blue) now I just need to get the wing repaired myself :sad1:

Yes the insides of the doors etc generally get much less paint.
Usual reading for VAG cars of the Mk5 era are between 100 and 140.
The paint is also pretty hard.

Does the gauge measure the lacquer thickness as well as the paint?
