Coating Thickness Gauge CM-205FN | Best Digital Meter for Automotive Paint Thickness Measurement | Resolution 0.01mils | F/NF Automatic Detection

This gauge works great and easy to calibrate

The item I ordered and received was exactly as described and turned up earlier than I thought it was going to which was great. Highly recommended seller and product.

The reading results depend heavily upon how square you are to the surface. Will a small foot at the reading end, it's a challenge. Might be best set it on continuous mode and slightly tip it around to get the lowest reading. Same idea on convex/concave surfaces. The included calibration plates ensures confidence of the unit itself. I primarily use it for the delta(differences) readings rather than the absolute values.

Excellent for checking paint on automobiles. Unfortunately, I keep losing these but that is my own fault. Great quality with the ability to calibrate it every so often if needed

to get a consistent reading is a challenge. after using the meter for a while i can get better results but if you want better more reliable readings i'd opt for a better meter/gauge.
