Any decent body shop has a paint thickness gauge. Measures the thickness to .001 of an inch.

I sold one on fleabay a couple yrs ago... it went for $175

Thanks, Chad. It's really a pleasure to drive. I haven't figured out how to get satellite radio in it yet, but otherwise it's great!

Forgive me, don't mean to be stupid, but are you being sarcastic or do you really think so too? Haha. I dunno, some people would roll their eyes at me and be like "its just a car" or something. But I have a "thing" for silver cars. Hahaa

Unless I REALLY REALLY REALLY hate the car...I think you can convince me it at least LOOKS good (I didn't say I would want it, or think it ran good, just looks good) if it is silver. An exception to that rule would be, for example, a hummer. Haha.

But yeah, pretty sad. I guess if I saw just the 2nd picture I would think its a bad wreck, sure, but seeing the before picture, looking at how nice it used to be just makes it so much sadder.
