Hope MUSLCAH doesn't mind if I comment here.

I have never personally used one, but there are high end ultrasonic units on the market that can tell the difference in the layers of coatings. So, the answer is yes, it is completely possibly to tell the depth of just the clear coating if the shop has the right type of paint depth sensing equipment. In fact, the best units will even hook up to a pc and allow the user to record the depth in muliple locations on a vehicle and then store that information. Very useful in case some areas have less clear coating on them.
