A coating thickness regulating device for regulating the thickness of the paint film coating an elongate article, such as a wire, a pipe or the like, in coating the elongate article by an elongate article coating system. The device comprises a spreading block having a cavity consisting of a cylindrical section and a taper section, an outlet opening, an inlet opening and through holes opening into the cavity; a spreading element formed of a nonwoven web formed by laminating webs of elastic and abrasion-resistant fibers, such as stainless steel fibers and/or copper alloy fibers, and packed in the cavity of the spreading block so as to receive and pass a coated elongate article therethrough; and pressing means for adjustably compressing the spreading element so that the coated elongate article is passed properly through the spreading element to form a uniform paint film having a desired thickness over the surface of the elongate article.
