Amazing Restoration Of A Rare Ferrari!

[GTR-N1]

Bayside Blue on GTRs is a 4 layer paint with a thicker base coat apparently.

Every panel was about the same micron thickness and the only panel that couldn't be measured was the C/F bonnet. The boot and engine bay were similar to other R34 GTRs and of course thinner.

Apparently, other colours that have been detailed at JDM_Performance exhibit paint thickness from 120-180. Eugene would love to get his hands on a BsB GT to see if the paint is the same thickness as the GTR

Peter at Bodyformaero also mentioned that my side skirts and pods (procured there) would need to be painted a special way - and get the base coat right before they'd match the rest of the car.

Yes it's the N1 that has really thin QM1 paint.

Eugene's Midnight Purple III paint is 180microns compared to the the thicker BsB.

* Whenever one inspects a car that has had damage repair, it's then that different panels have different thicknesses ie repainted panels have thicker paint than the original ones.

ah ok, that makes more sense. 180'ish sounds much more normal - and yes, same thickness across all panels is a good indication that is how it's meant to be.... but could also mean the whole car has been resprayed

would be interesting to see other TV2 readings, see if they are all that thick
