User Manual

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.
