FAQs
1. What is a paint thickness gauge and how does it work? A paint thickness gauge measures the thickness of paint or coatings on vehicle panels, usually using magnetic or eddy current technology to assess metal surfaces.
2. Why should you measure the paint thickness on a car? Measuring helps detect repainted areas, assess repair quality, and avoid removing too much material during polishing or correction.
3. What materials can paint thickness gauges measure? Most gauges measure coatings on steel, iron, and aluminum; advanced models may also work with non-metallic surfaces.
4. How accurate are automotive paint thickness gauges? High-quality gauges are typically accurate within ±1-3%. Calibration and careful probe placement are necessary for best results.
5. Do I need to calibrate the gauge before use? Most modern gauges require only zero adjustment (not full calibration) before use, but calibration is recommended if accuracy is critical.
6. Can paint thickness gauges measure plastic or fiberglass panels? No, most gauges do not provide accurate readings on plastic, carbon fiber, or fiberglass panels—results may be unreliable.
7. What is considered a normal paint thickness for cars? OEM factory paint usually ranges from 100-150 microns (about 4-6 mils), but this can vary by manufacturer and vehicle model.
8. How do you interpret paint thickness readings? Consistent readings in the typical OEM range suggest original paint; significant variations may indicate repainting or filler repairs.
9. What could cause inconsistent or irregular readings? Causes include improper probe placement, calibration drift, surface dirt, or measuring over trim/seams.
10. How often should I check paint thickness during detailing or polishing? It’s best to check before, during, and after correction work to monitor removal and protect against over-polishing.
