Accurate paint thickness gauge for automotive coatings with 20 micrometers precision. Quickly and reliably determine if a vehicle has been repainted. Key features - 20 micrometers accuracy with a color scale in micrometers for easy reading of paint or filler thickness - No battery required and no calibration needed; durable enough for years of use - Functionality combined as both a paint-thickness tester and a quick inspection tool How it works - The thickness of paint and filler is measured by bringing the tester tip into contact with the magnet on the surface to be tested (surface must be clean and dust-free) What it detects and who it helps - Detects paint layers on vehicles made of steel and galvanized steel that are visible to the eye - Helps determine whether a car has a hidden repaint or concealed repairs after an accident while preserving the appearance of the finish Use scenarios - Pre-purchase inspection of a used car to assess repaint history - Post-repair verification to confirm correct paint and filler thickness - Insurance, dealer, or appraisal assessments to verify vehicle condition and history This device provides clear thickness readings without power or calibration, offering a straightforward, trustworthy means to assess paint integrity and uncover potentially hidden repaints.
