Hello , thanks for the assist your are offering us... my questions is : can I apply the device on VIN number to check if there is a new / recent paint , in order to recognize if the VIN was manipulated or not... Thanks in advance .
Knowing the clear thickness especially if youre working on foreign cars.you just never know.nice vid boys.at the least should make you think twice before putting the da to the paint and help choose compounds. We would all like a before and after with various polishes and compounds.good idea? Could verify acuracy as well hevi cut vs a polish.
Hi Don. The tip that depresses is metal and that retracts into the black plastic base for measuring. As long as you are careful, you shouldn't have any scratching introduced to the paint. Thanks for watching!
The best way to calibrate it was with the sample films that came in the box. They have the measurements on the individual films.We used the zero calibration method in the instructions. It can be hard to follow, due to bad English, but will get you there. Is pretty lengthy to type here, so check the insert that came with the gauge and you'll be set! Thanks for watching!
Why do you have trouble with microns, micrometers, umeters, um,....? There is no Greek mu character on English keyboards. So most text abbreviate "mu" to "u". So microscope becomes uscope. Microvolt becomes uvolt. Micrometer becomes umeter, hence um. 1.000 inches is 25.4mm. 0.001" is 25.4um. Mu
Definitely a tool to consider when used car shopping!

Paint Coating Thickness Gauge, great video, i have one
These things are great, huh?! Thank you for watching!
Great review guys!
so what is your review after one year of use ?
Awesome video thanks you make this video
Thank you. Appreciate you watching!
Hi, thanks for vid! Is the tip made of a soft rubber or plastic material or is it metal?

I just got the exact same gauge. I can't figure out how to calibrate it. Could you give me some direction. I'd truly appreciate it.

El mio se me queda en cero y no mide todo lo que mide sale como resultado 0000
Decimal meter = Um or micron... Mil is decimal inch .001 = 1 mil..
great video and tutorial guys
Thanks so much!
Does it work for measuring other stuff, like rubber o-rings thickness 🤔
Don't think that will work. Just for reading distance to the metal here. Thanks for watching!
How about try ours
We'd love to try test your Paint gauge out. Shoot us an email with details. Thanks!

@@keithknechg3217 well, the comment would be to read the instructions and don't purchase one that doesn't have the instructions in English 😉🤣
