Description

【Paint Thickness Gauge for Cars】This is a magnetic paint thickness gauge. It is used to measure the thickness of paint layers. The paint thickness gauge is waterproof, requires no batteries, and can be used even in the rain and on dirty cars.
【Magnetic Tip】This paint thickness gauge features a simple design with a magnetic tip that adheres to any curved surface or hard-to-reach area. Before use, clean the area with a damp paper towel and then dry it with a dry paper towel. After cleaning, open the cap of the test pen and place it on the car paint.
【Color Scale with Micrometer Accuracy】This paint thickness gauge is equipped with a color scale with micrometer accuracy. The thickness of the clear coat or body filler can be easily read. This allows you to quickly and accurately check if the vehicle has already been painted. The paint thickness gauge automatically checks the paint thickness. [Automatic and precise measurement of clear coat thickness on cars] Our clear coat gauge is shaped like a small pen, made of high-quality materials, and ideal for on-the-go use. Measure the thickness of paint and filler by holding the tip of the gauge with the magnet against the surface to be tested (the surface must be clean and dust-free). [Versatile applications] This allows you to quickly and accurately determine if the vehicle has already been painted. The paint thickness gauge automatically detects the surface resistance of the paint. The gauge indicates whether there is accident damage hidden beneath the beautiful paint surface.

[Automatic and Precise Clear Coat Thickness Measurement] Our clear coat thickness gauge is shaped like a small pen, made of high-quality materials, and can be taken anywhere. Measure the thickness of paint and body filler by holding the magnet with the tip of the tester against the surface to be tested (the surface must be clean and dust-free). Special Features: - Simply designed paint thickness gauge with a magnetic tip that adheres to any curved surface or hard-to-reach area. - The paint thickness gauge is waterproof, requires no batteries, and can be used in the rain and on dirty cars. Shaped like a small pen, the paint thickness gauge is ideal for on-the-go use. It features a color scale with micrometer settings. The thickness of body filler or putty is very easy to read. With this paint thickness gauge, you can quickly and accurately determine if the vehicle has been repainted. Application: Before use, clean the area to be tested with a damp paper towel and then dry it with a dry paper towel. After cleaning, open the cap of the test pen and apply it to the car paint. (Note: Do not pull too quickly!)

The individual colors on the scale mean the following:
Blue: Layer thickness 0.0–100 micrometers – a thin layer of paint (without primer or clear coat). Green: The original paint layer has a thickness of 100–200 µm. Note: On newer models, a thin second clear coat may be up to 180 µm thick. Yellow: The layer thickness after paint repair (second coat) is 200–300 µm. Red: Layer thickness 300–520 µm – surface after sheet metal repair + second coat of paint. Black: Layer thickness over 520 µm – body filler and paint (body filler approx. 0.5 mm). Specifications: Name: Paint Thickness Gauge Material: Plastic, Metal, Magnet Color: As shown Size: Approx. 17.8 x 7.2 x 1.7 cm (L x W x H) Package Contents: 1 x Automotive Paint Thickness Gauge Note: Batteries not included. Product does not contain liquid.
