VC200 Car Paint Thickness Gauge
【PROFESSIONAL CAR PAINT THICKNESS METER FOR USED CAR BUYERS & PROS】VDIAGTOOL VC200 paint thickness gauge helps used car buyers/dealers to check whether repainting occurred(factory paint thickness 4-7mils), auto detailers to quantitatively measure & control the amount of clear coat (1.5-2.0 mils) removed when sanding and buffing, and body shops to prevent disputes before paint jobs. It’s also extremely useful for dealerships, painters, appraisers, inspectors when coating depth measurement is involved.
Why Coating Thickness Gauge So Important?
Measuring the thickness of the paint is often overlooked when going for an inspection of a vehicle during a used car auction. We all check how the engine is running, what the suspension is like and how the brakes work but you don't really know all about the car without checking the thickness of the paint.
>>>Here are top 4 reasons why you should use a coating thickness gauge:
- To check for past accident damage or repair history– Accident damage is a major issue on cars. Many owners or sellers will try to hide the fact that their vehicle has been in an accident or will try and downplay the severity of the accident. A paint depth gauge will be able to show you any discrepancies in the thickness of a car’s paint or coating. This means that you can check if the vehicle has been repainted or repaired at any point.
- To check for rust or rust repairs – This sort of ties in with the above but is equally as important. Rust is a major issue on cars. If you find an area where the paint thickness is different or where the gauge doesn’t work at all, it may indicate past or present rust problems. Rust or bodged rust repairs can be a death sentence for vehicles, so use a coating thickness tester.
- To appraise the car value in its own worth and save money – Hidden away accident history or rust repairs of a car will greatly reduce its real value and increase its possibility of repair down the road, a mil gauge meter becomes extremely useful to prevent you buying a lemon or overpaid for a used car.
- To measure and monitor clear coat removed while sanding and buffing automotive paint – A professional paint depth gauge will help auto detailers, auto body shop, collision technician, workshop, and etc to test and measure how much clear coat has been removed while sanding and buffying the clear coat while repairing the car body.
VDIAGTOOL VC200 Paint Coating Tester with 3 Testing Modes & 180° Rotating HD Display
>>>Single/Continuous/Difference Measurement
- Single measurement (SNG): One data per measurement
- Continuous measurement (CTN): Keep measuring when the probe remains on the substrate surface
- Difference measurement (DIF): The difference between this measurement and the previous measurement.
- Press "Down Button" to switch the units as μm, mil or mm.
>>>Digital HD Display & LCD Backlight &180° Rotated Screen
- Unlike other items, this automotive paint depth gauge has uncluttered, easy-to-read displays, that only give you the information you need at the time. Additionally, LCD backlight (Right Button) are going to be much easier to read in the dark than physical scales.
- The 180° rotated screen of this paint thickness gauge allows you to read the data easily from any angles!
>>>USB Rechargeable
- This paint thickness tester is a rechargeable devices that can be charged up with a USB cable. So you don’t have to rush out and buy batteries if the device runs out of juice.
High-Precision Fe/NFe Dual Probe That Automatically Identify Ferrous & Non-Ferrous Substrates
>>>Precise Fe & NFe Probe
A fast coating thickness gauge can speed up an inspection a lot! You will be able to cover the whole car much quicker than if you have to wait after each reading. This paint gauge thickness meter adopts the precision probe which can identify magnetic metal substrate (ferrous, for iron and steel) and non-magnetic metal substrate (non-ferrous, aluminum) automatically, the coating thickness data will be measured quickly and accurately!
>>>Resolution: 0.1μm/0.01mil (<100μm); 1μm/0.1mil/0.001mm (≥100μm)
>>>Accuracy: ±5μm(≤150μm); ±(3%H+1μm)(>150 μm)
>>>Auto Power Off
- Press ZERO button to turn it on, and it will shut down after 2 minutes automatically if there is no operation;
- Press ZERO button to turn it on, the screen will display [UOFF] and then start, the automatic shutdown function is closed in this case.
ATTENTION!
- Keep the probe away from the measured substrate when starting up
- If the screen show“-OL-”, it indicates that the value exceeds the measurement range
- Do not press the probe sensor with your finger or other objects, because this may damage the sensor parts and the device
Three Modes of Calibrations to Get Accurate Paint Depth Results
>>>Zero Calibration
- Place the paint depth tester meter vertically on a metal substrate, then press "ZERO" button and wait until the zero point calibration is completed.
>>>Basic Calibration
- Press and hold "LEFT BUTTON " to enter/exit basic calibration. The [CAL] icon will be displayed on the screen. Put the plastic foils on the uncoated piece of metal included consecutively and perform 7-point calibration in sequence (0.0μm, 50.0μm, 100μm, 250μm, 500μm, 1000μm, 1500μm) .
- If there is a difference between the value displayed on the screen and the calibration standard foils to be tested, please press" UP/ DOWN" key to adjust the value on the screen until they match.
- The screen will display [OVER] after calibration. At this time, lift up this mil thickness meter for metal and [CAL] disappears.
>>>Offset Calibration
- Under single measurement mode, put a thick plastic foil on the metal substrate, place the tester vertically on the foil and start testing, press "UP/ DOWN" to adjust the displayed thickness value to match the actual foil value, then the offset calibration is done.
NOTE: Magnetic and non-magnetic metal base calibration do not affect each other, so please do them separately.
NOTE: If you still don't know how to do the calibrations after checking the user manual, please reach us via vdiagtool2 @ outl ook . com
