Mil gauges (at least the ones I'm familair with) measure TOTAL paint on the car. That includes primer, base coat, sealer and clear coat. There is no mil gauge that I know of that can distinguish these three or four components of your total paint and certainly there are none that can tell you how many layers or coats of clear you have.
If I am wrong, please let me know the model and make of the mil gauge that does...I want one! 
Also, nobody, no matter how skilled, should be wetsanding to remove swirl marks that are only viewable in the sun. That is extreme overkill. |
Thanks for correcting me. Its a mil gauge as you mentioned. Ive seened it used. when I said sections of clear coat, i was referring to the sections which has thicker clear coat then other like curved areas. When I wet sanding my car, I did a bit of research at some body shops and they all told me what sections to watch out for and never let the sand paper touch at all. I had alot of fun doing it and my car looks 200xs better. but i still dont recommend if some one is not prepared to get a paint job if they screw up.
