Suitable for checking doors, hood, roof, fenders, and other painted metal panels where accurate coating evaluation is required. - EASY & FAST OPERATION — FACTORY CALIBRATED – Factory calibrated and ready to use right after installing batteries. Large backlit LCD with clear readings and simple buttons make this coating thickness meter easy for professionals and first-time users. Ideal for pre-purchase vehicle checks, car dealership inspections, trade-in evaluation, and mobile appraisers who need quick and convenient measurements without complicated setup. - AUTOMATIC Fe / NFe SUBSTRATE DETECTION – Automatically detects Fe (steel/iron) and NFe (aluminum/copper) and selects the correct measuring method. Ideal for modern vehicles with mixed body materials and accurate results without manual switching. This helps users inspect steel doors, aluminum hoods, and other metal body parts with the correct measurement principle applied automatically. - WIDE MEASURING RANGE FOR AUTOMOTIVE & INDUSTRIAL USE – Measuring range 0–1500 μm (0–59.1 mils) covers factory paint, repainting layers, and thicker coatings. Suitable for car body panels and industrial coated metal parts. Whether checking original automotive paint thickness or verifying thicker coating applications on metal components, the gauge provides a practical working range for many inspection scenarios. - DUAL TECHNOLOGY: MAGNETIC INDUCTION + EDDY CURRENT – Uses magnetic induction for ferrous metals and eddy current technology for non-ferrous metals, providing stable, repeatable measurements across steel, iron, aluminum, and copper substrates. This dual-technology design allows one device to cover common automotive body metals without requiring separate meters or manual probe replacement. - SINGLE & CONTINUOUS MODES (SNG / CON) – Supports single-point mode for spot checks and continuous mode for fast scanning of large panels such as doors, hood, roof, and quarter panels. Helps speed up inspections while confirming consistent coating thickness and identifying abnormal areas that may indicate repainting, filler, or previous repair work. - OPTIONAL CALIBRATION + INSTANT RESET – Supports zero calibration and multi-point calibration using included metal plates and foils. If settings were changed, press and hold reset to restore default calibration instantly for reliable measurements. This allows both quick everyday use and additional verification when more controlled measurement conditions are needed. - METAL SURFACES ONLY — CLEAR LIMITATION – Designed only for metal substrates (Fe and NFe). Not suitable for plastic bumpers, carbon fiber, fiberglass, or composites. This prevents incorrect use and helps users understand the proper application of the device before inspection, reducing false expectations and improving measurement reliability on supported surfaces. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07D6SP62F | | Best Sellers Rank | #17,843 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #12 in Thickness Gauges | | Brand Name | VVV-Group | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (777) | | Included Components | Paint Thickness Gauge, Case, Calibration kit | | Item Dimensions | 4.33 x 2.09 x 0.91 inches | | Item Highlight | Auto Fe/NFe Detection, 0.1 μm Resolution, 0–1500 μm (0–59.1 mils), ±(3%+2 μm) Accuracy, Backlit LCD | | Item Weight | 500 g | | Manufacturer | VVV-Group | | Material Type | Fe/Al | | Model | CM-205 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Part Number | 2058801-1 | | Set Name | CM-205FN | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** VVV-Group - **Item Highlight:** Auto Fe/NFe Detection, 0.1 μm Resolution, 0–1500 μm (0–59.1 mils), ±(3%+2 μm) Accuracy, Backlit LCD - **Item Weight:** 500 g - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 4.33 x 2.09 x 0.91 inches - **Material:** Fe/Al ## Images ![Paint Thickness Gauge CM-205FN for Cars – Digital Coating Thickness Meter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gT-sb9R2L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Set** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does the gauge require calibration before use?** A: For normal automotive paint inspection, calibration is not required. Factory calibrated and ready after installing batteries. Zero and multi-point calibration are optional for high-precision industrial coating control. Reset restores defaults. **Q: What is the measuring range and resolution?** A: CM-205FN measures from 0–1500 μm (0–59.1 mils) with 0.1 μm (0.01 mils) resolution. This range covers factory paint, repainting layers, and thicker coatings, helping detect repairs and uneven paint thickness. **Q: Is it suitable for outdoor use?** A: Yes. CM-205FN operates from –25 °C to +50 °C (–13 °F to +131 °F), suitable for garages and outdoor checks. Temperature compensation helps stable readings during changes. Keep the probe and surface clean for best accuracy. **Q: Can this gauge measure plastic or carbon fiber parts?** A: No. CM-205FN works only on metal substrates (Fe and NFe). It is not suitable for plastic bumpers, carbon fiber, or composite parts, because magnetic/eddy current coating thickness measurement requires a metal base. **Q: Does it work on aluminum car panels?** A: Yes. CM-205FN automatically detects Fe and NFe substrates and measures coating thickness on steel/iron and aluminum parts. This makes it ideal for modern cars with mixed body materials and fast inspections. ## Frequently Bought Together - Paint Thickness Meter CM-205FN | Best Mil Coating Depth Gauge Tester for Cars with Resol 0.01mil | F/NF Measuring - PowerSmith 500 LM Rechargeable LED Color Match (CRI 95+) Inspection Light, Two Color Temperatures 5000K/3500K, hanging hook, magnetic base with USB-C charging cable and 2 Year Warranty (PILC95500) - Car Coating Thickness Meter for Used Car Buyers, Paint Mil Thickness Meter Gauge Check The Car’s Original Coating Auto Car Paint Meter (Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/84038498-paint-thickness-gauge-cm-205fn-for-cars-digital-coating-thickness](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/84038498-paint-thickness-gauge-cm-205fn-for-cars-digital-coating-thickness) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-02*
