System comprises a control system for moving painted automobile bodies (12) between a paint bay and a measurement bay. The measurement system comprises an auto-PELT system for measuring the paint thickness and a paint quality control system that receives measurements from the PELT system that are used in conjunction with a vehicle identification number to control paint application. The paint thickness is measured using an automatic ultrasound pulse-echo paint layer thickness (PELT) meter
