Paint thickness - Paint thickness tester

Recently, it has become a fashionable form of checking the history of a used car varnish thickness testing. Used cars intended for sale are usually described as accident-free, is it really possible to believe it…

Availability of meters varnish thickness makes, that virtually anyone can buy or borrow such a measure, which seems like a reasonable idea. If we buy used cars and for the purchase of a car we allocate the amount of a dozen or several dozen zlotys, it is the purchase of a meter varnish thickness for the amount of several dozen zlotys seems to be irrelevant to the final transaction price, and may significantly contribute to the decision to purchase a given car or negotiate the final price.

When we are armed in paint thickness gauge or as the professionals say, the meter thickness of the varnish coat, start measuring varnish thickness to verify that the car has original varnish or was it painted e.g.. contrary to the seller's assurances about the pristine history of the car.

The thickness of the varnish coat in cars with original factory paint, it is within the range of 80 do 140 micrometers. Additionally, the paint coating may have a different thickness in different places of the car body, and actually on various elements of the body. That's why, for the measurement to be reliable and not shocking right at the start, it should be checked varnish thickness on the same body parts, i.e. e.g.. on the front doors or on the side mirrors and compare these thicknesses because they should have the same or similar thickness of the varnish.
