Car Coating Thickness Meter for Used Car Buyers, Paint Mil Thickness Meter Gauge Check The Car’s Original Coating Auto Car Paint Meter (Black)

The Paint Thickness Gauge TC100 has been a helpful tool for checking the condition of car paint, especially when buying used vehicles. It’s easy to use and provides quick, accurate readings of the paint thickness, which gives me more confidence in evaluating a car’s original coating.The device is lightweight, and the display is clear, making it straightforward to read. I’ve used it on a few cars already, and it’s been consistent with its measurements. For anyone buying used cars or looking to check for potential repairs or repaints, this meter is a must-have. It’s simple, effective, and well worth the investment.

Works perfectly tested on various cars as well as the very useful test strips easy to read build is hefty but don’t be dropping it on concrete.

I am a professional vehicle inspector. Even without this tool I can tell when a car has been resprayed, and I can always find bondo, but that's not always easy to convey to a customer that's not there with me. I use this tool and take photos of the result to show where there might be bondo or an extra layer of paint. I'm not a concours judge but my inspections range from 63 Jags to 2015 Subarus and this has been a great tool to show customers what I mean. It may or may not be as accurate as the more expensive gauges but it works perfectly for my needs.

I use this to measure the thickness of my liquid wraps before putting a clear over them or just to make sure they're thick enough for final finish. Good purchase.

Excellent product, does exactly as state. Very easy to use and good price. I use for body work.

This unit seems to work well but it seems to take more skill to master than I thought it would. There are nuances in automotive paint, so you should practice on a factory car in mint condition before using it to unearth used cars with issues. Wish they had these decades ago.

Does what it claims perfectly

This product provides the best cross section between quality and price for a tool you will find you very rarely need but that one time you do need it then it will have paid for itself with you not damaging paintwork on a customers vehicle!!! I was surprised by how accurate this was. Showed me I had way more paint then I thought I had to work with on my personal vehicles and also shows me that I really don't have to remove much during the polishing process to see a fairly significant difference in the appearance of the finish. In fact I often see drastic improvements with little to zero movement in the thickness of the coating but this is by design as I use the least aggressive approach to get the desired results as one should always do. Some paints just require you to remove more and when you come across those types of finishes this type of tool becomes a very handy thing to have!!! Without this you flying blind and guessing and that can be wildly inaccurate.
