As for any additional clear---use an Elcometer; not for El Caminos! Some of the buyers at the auctions (normal everyday cars for the dealership used car inventory) use (I do NOT) a tool called an Elcometer that measures the thickness of paint on a METAL panel. Some of the paint work is so good that the meter MIGHT be the only way to detect a previous repair. You can spot the "REAL PROS" when the put the meter on a Corvette or vehicle that is constructed of something OTHER than metal. My buying theory is if the paint work is "GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME, IT'S GOOD ENOUGH"
