Paint Thickness Meter CM-205FN | Best Mil Coating Depth Gauge Tester for Cars with Resol 0.01mil | F/NF Measuring

Very simple to use and affordably priced. I use it for bodywork, and it delivers excellent results!

As a professional vehicle inspector, I use this tool to capture photos that highlight areas with bondo or additional layers of paint.

This is a pretty decent paint meter for the price. However, I have found that I have gone back and forth to the same area and had deviations as much as 11/100 so I can say it is fairly accurate for the money but between the tip being a little bit sensitive and the overly inaccurate readings I tend to get in different areas. When I go back to them, I would rate this four stars instead of five.

When I first bought this, I wasn’t sure how to calibrate it, but the seller was very helpful. As it turns out, the device is already calibrated accurately from the factory and even includes a “Reset” button to easily restore the default settings. It’s absolutely perfect for measuring car paint!

The first one I received was previously opened and did not work correctly. I sent it back and got another one. It was new and unopened and worked correctly. The replacement item arrived quickly.

While this device might not be the most precise, it performs its function flawlessly. I have absolutely no complaints about how it works, and it’s definitely worth the price. Now, with a backlight and standard battery power, it’s a major improvement!

Stopped working after 3 uses

Since car paint can be tricky, it's smart to start on a vehicle with a flawless factory finish before moving on to older cars with blemishes. It's an excellent device—too bad something like this wasn’t around years ago!
