I am actually from Connecticut originally. My parents came from Canada . But I moved to North Carolina for college and couldn't bring myself to move back to the north haha

The only thing that is kind of surprising to me is the fact that the entire hood is pretty even paint thickness. Imo if someone sanded through it I find it kind of hard to believe they kept it as even as they did while sanding. But if this is not a common problem I'll mention it to my dealer and probably end up just eating my losses and respraying it and blending into the fenders. I just wanted to check and make sure this wasn't a common problem before bringing it to the dealer.

I recently purchased a 2020 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali with 45000 miles on it. When I purchased it I noticed the paint on the hood looked a little dull but it was also a little dirty after a rain, so I didn't think much of it. I figured once I got it home I could buff it out and get it back to new. Besides this and a few other little issues the truck is in overall decent shape. Well when I got it home I figured I should check the paint thickness before doing any buffing and to my surprise the paint was only 1.4mil thick. The rest of the truck is around 3.8 to 4.2mil thick. This scares me to buff any further down and to me feels like it really needs to be resprayed. The carfax on this truck is clean and I figured if its been resprayed already the paint would have only been thicker. Not this thin. Is anyone else have any issues with their trucks hoods having super thin paint and failing clearcoat or did some previous owner just wetsand this hood to oblivion?
