Found out the hard way about modern paint thickness specs

Was reading a PPG tech bulletin last night. Found out new clear coats are only supposed to be 1.5 to 2.0 mils dry. Been laying mine on way thicker for years thinking more protection was better. Anybody else get surprised by a spec like that and have to change their whole process?

Yeah same here, I thought thick meant better until I read that exact bulletin and changed my whole mindset.

Nah disagree, thickness gives way more control in my experience!
