    Question Paint thickness gauges

    Is a paint thickness gauge that reads only in Mils alright or should I get one that does microns?

    Re: Paint thickness gauges

    Mils is fine and is the standard reference around here

    Microns is more accurate, but IMO not required

    The most recommended PTG on the Forum is $159 online and reads both mils and microns

    The newer model of this is the cm8802fn. I can't say that it is materially better since it is the only version that I own, but I can say that I have been really surprised and pleased with its performance.
