SCRS Quick Tip: What a Mil Gauge Reveals

In this video from Society of Collision Repair Specialists, Gary Wano Jr. of GW and Son and Andy Tylka of TAG Autobody Group discuss why paint thickness measurements are becoming increasingly important in collision repair.

They explain how mil gauges help identify prior repairs, maintain OEM paint specifications, and ensure that ADAS components, such as radar sensors, function properly after refinishing. They also discuss different types of gauges for steel, aluminum, and plastic panels, as well as why incorporating paint-thickness checks into the blueprinting process help to identify important factors early in the repair process.

The video was filmed at the I-CAR Training Center in Appleton, Wisconsin.
