Don't believe everything you hear

Take a helper with you, a reliable paint meter.
Every auto buyer wants to be sure of that paint on the car is as it should be. That the car is not damaged and does not have a ton of putty. Therefore, if we are going to go shopping for a new car, let's buy it first varnish meter. Such measures can be divided into two groups; electric and dynamometric. In short, the electric must have batteries, the dynamometric must not. Both types of testers will do coating measurement non-magnetic on metal sheets. But not all meters will measure on components made of both steel and aluminum sheets. We should also remember that each meter to work properly must be periodically calibrated.
Coating gauge with pressure probe
Meter from the DX series it's a very easy measurement. The meter measures with increased resolution. It measures surfaces made of steel, galvanized steel and aluminum. The meter automatically detects the type of substrate and informs about it by displaying an appropriate message on the display; "FE" - for surfaces made of steel and galvanized steel and "AL" - for surfaces made of aluminum. On the other hand, the backlight of the screen informs us about what is happening with the paint. Green background - suggests original paintwork. The orange background - suggests two coats of varnish, and the red background - suggests putty.
The kit includes:
Coating thickness gauge DX-13-S-AL
instruction in Polish
2 LR3 - 1.5V alkaline batteries
calibration and calibration plates "AL" and "FE"
warranty for 24 months
