Paint is measured by grammes per square cm, or something like that and is measured by a machine such as an x-ray, that you have in hospital...

I have one. It works on how much force a magnet uses. The thicker the paint the less grip. I think u get the idea. Different body panels have different depths of paint. Roof & bonnet have more than doors for instance.
Buy one at any bodyshop supplier.

Take a key and scratch the paint to the bare metal. Then put a tire tread checker into the scratch.
