after reading this...scroll down, and you will see something called "Similar Threads" - they should have about 4 threads related to the topic.

I think that's what OP was referring to.

These instructions should be a sticky .... everywhere

Absolutely correct!

And here's one more thread that helped me understand what these devices are with wildly varying prices.

Paint thickness gauges can get quite expensive and for most of us hobbyists, it is not worth the high dollar units. I found one on Amazon for $125 and it was an Elcometer. It works quite well.

The newest similar thread is pushing 4 years old at this point. I had also read the thread PM5C referred to. Just looking for specific brands People might have tried. I have no problem spending a couple hundred if I can find one that works well enough to help avoid issues.

I wound up buying the NicetyMeter model CM8801FN. I had seen Brian from Apex Detail use it online, and he seems to be pretty rigorous (IMHO) about his test gear. I paid under $100 for it, but as noted elsewhere, it took forever to here here from China. Like three weeks+. Based on the calibration pieces that comes with it and measurements from various sections of my car, it's telling me what I want to know about the amount of paint left here and there.

No worries.

I have done this as well. Horrible layout on VBulletin's part. (Amongst many others......)
