ASME Code (2001 edition) Section V Article 7, Mandatory Appendix 1 gives the detailed rules on performing MT through coatings such as paint.
In summary you must demonstrate the procedure with the known thickness of coating and then you must prove that the thickness of the coating on the part is the same as has been demonstrated.
Yoke lifting power must be proven through the coating as well.
