Neoteck Car Paint Coating Thickness Gauge Meter Handheld with Backlight LCD Display for Both Steel and Aluminum Base Metal Car 0-1500um

I bought this product because I had a suspition that my bonet had been resprayed. Before I went hammer and tongues in with the wet sanding, I neded to know how thick the clearcoat was. Although this doesn't tell me how much paint to clear coat, it does tell me that it was resprayed, and to proceed with caution with my machine polishing. I was worried about getting somethign cheap, as you can buy ones for thousands, but this was good enough for what I needed.

Given other reviews, I’m not sure if I just got a duff one, but its measurements are all over the place. Even on the calibration pieces, it shows variations of over 20% when measuring the same piece in the same place, taking one measurement immediately after the other. I cannot recommend.I needed a replacement for my ‘Paint Detective’ car paint thickness gauge - which has worked flawlessly for years and just finally packed up - so thought I’d give one of these cheaper models a try. Big mistake.I’ll go back and get another Paint Detective - they may be £200 but they are so reliable - so in my opinion, are worth it.Will be returning this unit for a refund today.

Bought for car paint correction work (and used on my bike for fun!). Consistent accuracy, easy to hold and use and calibration was a breeze.It comes with a sleeve style case. Great for keeping it away from knocks and bumps with my other kit, but this case is not waterproof. It is very compact though.Found it better than another (pricier) model on amazon, because it feels really secure and comfortable in my hand whilst using it.Turning on and calibrating is easy and consistent between the 2 different substrate blanks given (aluminium and ferrous/iron).Very quick to use. Turn on, wait 5s, take readings immediately. A audible bleep tells you the measurement is taken, ready for the next one.Backlight is so practical too - mainly if needing to take photos!I found this unit an overall bargain and am very pleased with it so far.

In my view this meter is good for basic paint thickness check. Unfortunately for myself it wasn’t so good as when trying to check the paint thickness after the car repair the readings weren’t stable and were showing different measurements. So I had to send it back for a refund and buy more expensive ( double price) equipment. Once again you get what you pay

Felt so disappointed to see the item is not a genuine one. The white one is a replica and in the description this is not mentioned.Sent it back next day and got a full refund though

So happy with this device.Tried it on a few cars now that I've been doing cutting on.Really makes a huge difference and I'm able to feel more confident with what I'm working with l.

Never the same reading twice from the same spot.

Easy to operate but measurements are all over the place. You almost need a set square to hold the unit 90 degrees to the body. If there are lots of curves you just have to guesstimate each time. Disappointed tbh.
