Does the Changan Alsvin have thinner paint coats than other sedans in the same price range in Pakistan?

Professional detailers say the paint thickness is below average compared to competitors. Could cost-cutting by the manufacturer be the reason for reduced durability?

The Changan Alsvin is known to have thinner paint coats than other sedans in its price range like the Toyota Yaris o r Honda City. Professional detailers and body shop technicians in Pakistan who’ve measured the paint depth often report lower microns on the Alsvin, suggesting that the company may have saved costs by reducing the number of paint layers o r using a less durable clear coat. This thinner application results in a quicker loss of gloss, lower scratch resistance, and faster deterioration when exposed to heat, rain, and pollution, all of which are common in Pakistani driving conditions.
