...as a post-script...I use 3.5-4.0 mils as a nominal for GM lacquer. Not sure what others use for enamel which I believe was used by FoMoCo and Chrysler during the 60s-70s. Would like to hear others chime in with experience on factory enamel paint thickness.

Is there a difference in paint thickness of different colors? Does it take more yellow paint to get color coverage on a car than if it was black paint?
