...as a post-script...I use 3.5-4.0 mils as a nominal for GM lacquer. Not sure what others use for enamel which I believe was used by FoMoCo and Chrysler during the 60s-70s. Would like to hear others chime in with experience on factory enamel paint thickness.

I thought Mopars and Fords were a lot thicker because of the brush strokes
