I don`t have the links right now, but if you search for paint meter you will find the threads.



Cheers,

Maybe this one would fit the bill??

The only one I could find that would read separate layers of coatings worked only on non-metallic substrates (plastic, fiberglass, etc.).

Take a look at this one, I think it has a lot of bang for the buck. 445$ dual metal reading and good resoulution and error %

That one doesn`t seem to do "multi-layer" sensing, i.e., taking separate measurements of the BC and the CC, like this one: Measures coating thickness such as lacquer, paint and powder on wood; Epoxy and urethane on concrete and more. (http://www.defelsko.com/p200/positector200.html)

My bad this guy wants to spend the BIG bucks for a gauge!!!

The only problem with that one is it doesn`t seem to work on metallic substrates.

I think he actually was banned from here. I read something about it over on DB.
