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

Works very well and simple to use excellent if you are one the used car business

What it is: Electronic paint thickness meter for ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic metals. Features LCD readout, unit switch (ųm, mm, mil), probe mode, zero button. Includes 2 AAA batteries, calibration samples, instructions, lanyard, and hard case. Why I like it: This is great for measuring coating thickness over metals. I calibrated the unit with the samples, put it in Auto mode, and it was able to detect paint thickness and distinguish metal types between the steel and aluminum bodywork on my RX-7. Instructions were clear, and I think this will be very helpful when monitoring paint thickness on my vehicles as well as detect potential body issues on vehicles I’m considering for purchase. Overall, very good tool for the home enthusiast or pro.

Journeyman is happy with this

Excited to receive it. Shipped overnight. Unit would not power up. Yes, batteries were inserted correctly. I swapped the batteries with my own known new batteries. Unit still does not power up. Will be shipping it back ASAP...

A great tool for the money. It seems to be accurate but it wont work on fiberglass cars like Corvettes. I have used it for many car purchases.
