Why is BMW's paint so thin?

[McEmilio]

The following are the reasons related to the thin paint of BMW: 1. BMW's paint is thinner than other car paints: BMW's paint is about 1/4 to 1/5 thinner than that of European and American models. A representative brand is Nissan, whose paint is relatively thin. Generally, driving at high speeds can easily cause small pinholes in the paint surface. 2. Hairline scratches: For hairline scratches, polishing or applying a rubbing compound can usually remove them. A gentle wipe is often enough to make the scratches disappear. 3. Light scratches: For light scratches, just prepare a tube of toothpaste. Toothpaste is highly effective for shallow scratches that haven't damaged the car's primer, especially for marks left by other vehicles during minor collisions or adhesive residues from sticky products. Most of these can be wiped clean. 4. Deep scratches: Medium to deep scratches cannot be repaired by polishing. For small dents with a depth of no more than 5mm, they can be filled with putty, leveled, and then repainted.
