what are the reading limits

This gauge can read from 1 to 15 mils (.001 to. 015 inch) or 25 to 375 microns on steel only. It's important to remember that today many cars are completely covered with a variably thin coat of filler and then sanded to remove all minor imperfections before top coating. This thin filler is then detected as paint by the gauge.

Will this gauge work on aluminum body panels?

No. It is a magnetic gauge. Therefore, it only works on ferrous metals (steel, iron, etc.). It will not work on aluminum.

Can it measure the thickness of zinc (for galvanized steel) ? If yes, what's the margin of error (x%) ?

I cannot say for sure, but I do not see why it would not be able to measure the thickness of zinc, considering a zinc coating is non-metallic just like paint. However, this gauge reads from.001" to.015" with plus or minus.001" accuracy. Considering many zinc coatings are 0.0002" (zinc plating) to 0.008" (batch hot-dip galvanizing), this tool may or may not meet your requirements. This tool's intent is to be a highly portable tool to measure paint thickness on automobiles, to look for previous paint or body repairs.

Great Tool for Measuring Paint Thickness and Finding Previous Body Repairs

This is a great, simple tool for measuring paint thickness and finding previous body repairs. Is able to measure up to 0.015" of paint thickness. I performs pre-purchase inspections classic cars on a part-time basis and this tool helps find previous bodywork and gives my customers data on the amount of paint or filler on a vehicle. I highly recommend using one prior to buying a classic car!

Fairly overpriced...

It's a piece of plastic with a magnet and spring inside and a sticker with some measurements on it. Doesn't feel very accurate for its intended use and fairly overpriced.

Magnet and Spring Combination are a Neat Trick

Use to understand DFT of sprayed coatings on structural steel exposed to the elements [solar parking canopies] The magnet and spring gauge are an ingenious combination to gauge the coating thickness over ferrous substrates.
