The PosiTector 6000 wont tell you how much clear coat is on the surface like the PosiTector 200. I could be wrong here, because I'm still getting the hang of the gauges..so I'm no expert on them, so don't think that I know it all...but the PosiTector 6000 can graph...I'm still working on the graphs though..well hope this helps...but like I said I'm no expert. I learn something new about the these PosiTectors every day.

No problem, I'll share as much as I know...I found a paint gauge out there that is supperior to the PosiTector 6000 that it will take individual readings just like the PosiTector 200 but it's not very cheap at all, it's in the $10,000.00 and up range....not cheap at all but I figuired I'd start with the PosiTectors as I've read great reviews on them.

Using Nicas Z06 as an example........$2700 for a paint gauge vs a paint job on a new car......Id rather dump the cash on a tool than look like one.

I think this thread has convinced me, just reading costs me money now! BTW if I see that paint sn in the 70-80mil range and a rotary might be to much to use can I use my Flex RO carefully and not worry about burning the clear?

Interesting...... a human PTG. I would be very interested in hearing more about this. Can you tell by looking at it, or do you just feel the paint and figure it out?

Where can i rent one of those human PTG's
