All distances are measured in metres. Prefifixes are used as abbreviations for the fraction of metres, because paint is thin, it would be measured in millionths of a metre. The prefix for millionths is micro-, so paint thinckness would be quoted as micrometres (μm)

A gallon 3.78L of latex paint can cover 385 ft2 of the surface of a wall What is the average thickness of one coat of paint in micrometers?
It is necessary to assume that there is no evaporation of the painting solution - 100% solids / volume.It is known that 1 gallon of paint with no evaporation (100 % solids / volume) willcover 1604 sq' at a thickness of 1 mil - this is regardless of the paint solution.1604 sq' / 385 sq' is approx. 4166 micrometers - with no evaporation.
How much is 7 liters in metric units?
If u need 7 liters of paint how many gallons do u need
Which is the best unit to measure the amount of paint in a can?
Liters (L) i am pretty sure this is correct because in my chemistry class today we were talking about the ratio of liters of red and white paint to make pink. Hope that helped

A paint thickness gauge will allow you to find out the thickness of the paint you are using. This means that when this is necessary for particular tasks that you have a good tool to help you.
Is there a formula to figure dry paint mil thickness if you have the percent solids of the paint?
It depends on the application process and what are you painting. Mils can vary based on how you apply the paint and with what applicator. It is not based on the solids percentage. This may create a variable that cannot be included in a fixed formula. To measure paint that is already dry you can use a mil gauge. For more info on applying paint go to the appended website. (Added) That's correct when you have only the percentage solids by weight, however when you apply the paint correctly, at the wet mil thickness specified by the manufacturer, you can figure the dry mil thickness by multiplying the wet mil thickness (often 4 mils for ordinary house paint) and the percent solids by volume of the paint. To measure the wet paint thickness, which you should do while applying to ensure that it is being applied at the correct thickness, use a wet mil gauge. For example, 4 mils with a paint that is 25% solids by volume will dry down to 1 mil thickness. A high build elastomeric coating applied at 10 mils at the same 25% solids will dry down to 2.5 mils.
How do i make acrylic paint the right thickness for an airbrush?
To make the acrylic paint the right thickness of an airbrush you should add the liquid gradually as you stir to get the right thickness.

What is the thickness of a coat of paint measured in?
Most household paints are measured in Mils. One mi is about the thickness of a page from the phone book (Remember those?). The application rate is one measure - wet mils, while the resulting dry and cured coat is dry mils. A common specification is latex wall paint at 6 mils wet per coat for a 4 mil dry coverage.

Did George Seurat paint with oil paint?
yes he did. oil paint is ideal for the technique that he painted in (pointillism) as it is preferred for its thickness and it's tendency not to run or bleed.
