CARPAINT-TESTER PRO Magnetic Paint Thickness Gauge

Stop the car fairy tales! The car paint tester gives you certainty…
Coating layers that are too thin lead to decreased corrosion protection and reduced protection from mechanical damages. It is mainly after a car crash that additional coating layers are applied. Such additional coating layers worsen elasticity, adhesive force and resistance of the paint; additional coating layers tend to break open and come off. That is why the correct thickness of the coating layer is very important. Using our car paint tester you can easily test the coating layer.

Using the car paint tester you can check:

• Is it the original paint?
• Was the car repainted?
• Was filling or repainting applied to the car body?
• Thickness of the filling.
• Is the paint too thin (due to strong polishing)?

Coloured 10 Point Scale:

• BLUE - Thickness of coating layer up to 100 μm Coating layer too thin
• GREEN - Thickness of coating layer 100-200 μm Original paint
• YELLOW - Thickness of coating layer 200-300 μm After paint repair work
• RED - Thickness of coating layer 300-600 μm After filling and repainting
• BLACK - Lackschichtdicke 600-750 μm: Dicke Spachtelschicht und neu lackiert

How to use the car paint tester

• Put the car paint tester in an upright position with the magnet towards the area that is to be tested (The paint should be clean and free of dust).
• Then slowly pull off the tester until it can be removed from the paint surface.
• Check the measuring scale to see what colour the tester stopped at, thus indicating the thickness of the paint.
• Repeat the test several times, if you are not sure about the result received.

Advantages of the car paint tester
Don’t allow dishonest car salesmen to deceive you anymore. Within a few minutes you can test the car and find out whether and where filling was done. A car that was repainted does not need to be of worse quality, but you should know whether repainting was done or not.
