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.

How many coats of paint is 1 mm?
The thickness of a coat of paint can vary based on the type of paint and application method, but generally, a single coat of paint is about 30 to 50 microns thick, or 0.03 to 0.05 mm. Therefore, it would take approximately 20 to 33 coats of paint to reach a thickness of 1 mm, depending on the specific paint used.
How large a surface area in units of square feet will 1 gallon of paint cover if you apply a coat of paint that is 0.1 centimeter thick?
