This term is often used to quantify the amount of wetpaint or similar protective substance that has been applied to a particular surface. It is often measured with a rather simple device called a wet film thickness guage. The gauge is piece of plastic about the same size and shape as a credit card but about twice as thick. Along the edge are a series of evenly spaced teeth. The two teeth at either end are the same length, but the intermediate teeth are in descending lengths so that when the edge of the gauge is pressed in to the wet coating, the thickness can be measured by observing which tooth has wet paint on it: the shorter the tooth, the thicker the coating, and vice versa. A more sophisticated, electronic tool is required to measure the thickness of dry paint.

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.
