it was one thing back in the day when there was lacquer paints on custom cars then yes you had to apply 3 ,4 and 5 times the amount of paint just to get a good deap finish . so people would tell you they have 50 coats of color on the car and yes they did they needed it it was lacquer .
now when people tell you they have 20 coats of clear the 1st thing that comes to mind is BOY YOU REALLY ****ED UP THAT PAINT JOB ! then what comes to mind is if you do really have that much paint on the car you will be stripping it in a year or two because with todays paints any thing more than 14 mills will crack and check up in no time .

if a shop any shop can't lay down a good flat finish the 1st time evrey time it's then time for them to learn how to paint or find some one that can . like i have said 100 times before there is a big differents between a sprayer and a painter most shop hire sprayers and like to call them painters or worse yet the sprayer that thinks he is a painter .
