Application
PaintCheck is a Paint Thickness Gauge especially suited for car bodies. It non-
destructively measures coatings, e.g. lacquer, paint, plastic, rubber, enamel etc., on
iron/steel and on non-ferrous metals such as aluminum.
PaintCheck automatically recognizes the type of the base material iron/steel or non-ferrous
metal and then displays the correct coating thickness. In addition, with “Ferr” or “Non-Ferr”,
the display indicates whether measurement was made on iron/steel or non-ferrous metal.
