86220 Automotive Paint Meter
Accurately identify metallic putty and galvanized steel body
Fast measurement speed — 0.5-second measuring interval
Measures car paint thickness on both steel and aluminum surfaces
The 86220 automotive paint meter, also known as a car paint thickness gauge, is a specialized tool designed to measure the thickness of coatings on vehicle surfaces. It helps users quickly assess both sheet metal and spray-painted areas of a car, and can indirectly evaluate potential damage. The 86220 model can detect metallic putty, galvanized steel bodies, and differentiate between iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous substrates. It offers fast testing, stable readings, and high measurement accuracy.

FAQ
-
1. How to judge whether the car has been repainted or not?
At present, the paint thickness of different brands of cars on the market is not exactly the same. Therefore, when measuring the paint film thickness of a certain car, you can first measure the paint thickness on the car roof, because car roof is rarely affected by external forces and scratches, dents or deformation, it is more likely to retain the original paint thickness.
To test the specfic position of the car, you can take the upper, lower, left, right, and middle five points to test and calculate the average value of the five data. If the value of one point is greater than the average value of more than 30μm, this position may have been repainted. -
2. Under what circumstances we need to make zero adjustment?
When the body material of the car under test changes; the instrument has not been used for a long time; when the ambient temperature changed significantly; after the battery is replaced; when it can not recognize ferrou putty or iron galvanized cae body.

3. Can I customize the LOGO and shell of the car paint meter?
Yes, but there is a minimum order quantity.
The minimum order quantity for customized LOGO: 100pcs; the minimum order quantity for customized instrument shell: 500pcs.
