> [@JayS](#): > > Learning something new. Never knew paint thickness maps were a thing. :tup: Mike (Auto Aesthetica) will always do them before performing a paint correction/restoration to get an idea of where the high/low spots are, to see how aggressive he can get if necessary, to avoid surprises, and so on. Also a great way of determining if there was ever paint work on the car. This will always tell you. ---

I knew that was coming. Oddly, I almost had a guy convinced to trade me straight across for an E55 wagon, which I would have also sold. But no, I want it, but can’t. Still working on the eliminate debt plan. Gotta stick with it. ---
