Weigh a gallon of paint sometime and see how many layers you have.

I don't recommend doing that on a 40yo car though unless you plan on hitting the rotisserie. It can be really depressing. Especially when you start finding the bondo under and amongst the bazillion layers of paint.

Favorite tool to remove undercoating---- A curb!
"Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you."

I did that this winter. What a project! I removed the sound deadener, undercoating, etc. I discovered 6 layers of primer/paint, a quarter panel welded over the original quarter panel and 1" of bondo filling the dent on that quarter.I don't recommend doing that on a 40yo car though unless you plan on hitting the rotisserie. It can be really depressing. Especially when you start finding the bondo under and amongst the bazillion layers of paint.
