86239 Automotive Paint Meter — Expert Edition
Feature-rich, with selectable Simple and Expert modes
Effortlessly switch between Simple and Expert modes for maximum versatility.
Automatically detects ferrous putty and galvanized iron with a clear 3-color backlight indicator.
Rapid measurements completed in just 0.3 seconds.
Stores up to 999 vehicle inspection records.
This coating thickness gauge is designed for professional measurement of automotive paint film thickness. It accurately measures coatings on both metal substrates—such as steel and aluminum—and non-metal materials like carbon fiber and plastics. The device detects paint thickness on ferrous and aluminum surfaces and identifies non-metallic car bodies, ferrous putty layers, and galvanized steel. The 3-color backlight provides instant, easy-to-read measurement results. Integrated Bluetooth allows seamless connection to a smartphone app or WeChat mini program, enabling users to record paint thickness across different parts of a vehicle and their corresponding materials. Users can generate comprehensive test reports and share information effortlessly.
