 INTRODUCTION
A paint thickness instrument is a powerful tool for finding evidence of accidents, patching of rust spots,
and past paint repairs to delaminated surfaces. Problems under the paint will eventually develop with
time. No matter how good the paint job, poorly prepared or damaged bodies will shorten the life of the
vehicle. Thus a vehicle that has been repainted, regardless of the cause, can have a reduced resale value.
The resale value decreases more significantly with high value (hi-line) vehicles and newer models

Paint Thickness

By the reading taken in this motor cycle, paint thickness is in good condition because thickness of paint
almost same at everywhere in part.

 VIN number:
A vehicle identification number (VIN) is a special code, including a serial number,
utilized by the car business to distinguish singular engine vehicles, towed vehicles,
bikes, bikes and mopeds, as characterized in ISO 3779:2009.

Current VINs depend on two related benchmarks, initially issued by the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1979 and 1980: ISO 3779 and ISO 3780,
separately. Perfect yet unique executions of these ISO models have been embraced by
the European Union and the United States, individually.VIN (vehicle identification
number): ZCGM200AAYV001727

The thickness if tread shows the inner side of the tread worn out. And also center part of the tire
tread is in almost good condition. But the tread didn’t worn out equally may be because of maintaining
the air pressure inside the tire or because of the negative camber angle.

Summary:
From the above we see that the motor cycle has been identified using VIN. The thickness of the
paint is in good condition. But some damages in the paint and also on some other part can be seen which
shows that the motor cycle has met with a few accidents. Tread condition of the tire is not in good
condition so the tire is needed to be changed soon.
