The Power Tec coatings and thickness gauge measures the thickness of the coating applied over steel or aluminium substrate to check for thin or even thick areas of coating. A thin coating would be a red flag to not work or polish an area as the coating may not be enough to work on and remove any layers of paint/lacquer to level out a scratch or deep damaged area. Likewise an area with a deep coating is also a red flag as indicates a repair – for instance an area of filler so again may not be an ideal area to polish due to previous bodywork damage.
PLEASE NOTE: this paint gauge unfortunately doesn't work on electric vehicles, and hybrid vehicles will only provide partial readings.
Gauge is a handy addition to any detailers kit to save working an unsuitable area and highlight an area to a customer that you may wish to point out pre detail.
Gauge works on steel or aluminium metal surfaces with flat or curved profiles. Auto detection of base material: ferrous (steel, etc) and non-ferrous (aluminium, copper, etc) metals.
Included in the box are 2x calibration base (F/NF), 5 x standard calibration foil. Requires 2 x AAA batteries (included). Please refer to instructions for use & technical specification.
