Put 6 coats of high solids clear on a car and then sand it and buff it, you will have millage. Low millage equals low quality(thin clear) IMO when talking about a quality refinish job.
A paint meter is useful in verifying original paint and it is useful in finding areas with excessive filler. It does not measure quality.

My point was that if its a respray that is difficult to detect and done to high standards then it shouldn’t be a negative factor on the cars quality. I’ve seen resprays that fall within the factory thickness and look excellent. Without knowing the process I can’t comment on how it was done but again finish, depth and match were excellent.
A large percentage of 964’s lead neglected lives and it seems a large percentage have had paint work of some type. Some to high standards, others not so much.
