Re: Best "Value" for a Paint Thickness Meter/Gauge?

Just saw this on another forum. I don't know anything about the gauge or the seller. Just thought for $199.99 it might be worth checking out.

Paint Meter, Paint Gauge, Paint Gage - HighLineMeter.com

Very interesting...and within my budget! Time to research that puppy...

Great find. There another option from harbourfreight but it can only read on metal surfaces.

BTW, Mark, if you do get them (highline), could you do a review on them. Thanks man!

Hey Mark, any good news on the stuff?

Edit: Not sure how long I can stand before clicking the button for the Defelsko (must resist, must resist....)

Haha, well I basically have decided to get the $200 High-line meter. I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but I will in the next week or so most likely. I have been spending a lot on supplies and not booking jobs for a while, so I told myself I need to earn my right to spend the dough.

Doing a 2 day deal on a Jeep right now, another 1 day job Friday, and another job booked for Monday (Taking sat sun off for once). Bottom line, the meter will be coming soon

Just a quick shoutout to those interested in buying it.

The Highline meter's unit measurement needs to be preset from the factory. Therefore state beforehand mode you going to be using (mils /micron). Havent see the accuracy percentile on them. But from reading what people posted online, I didnt seem to find any negative feedback on them. Plus I came across a PR statement stating they encountered zero returns from buyers. Havent click the buy button yet though.

Which is better for us? Mils or mics? Thanks.

Re: Best "Value" for a Paint Thickness Meter/Gauge?

I would use the "Micron" unit to measure CC removal. It would give you a better idea of how much your removing, because it is a smaller unit than a "mil". If I was to communicate with others on the forum about paint thickness, I would use the "mil" measurements.
