Works very well and simple to use excellent if you are one the used car business

A great tool for the money. It seems to be accurate but it wont work on fiberglass cars like Corvettes. I have used it for many car purchases.

While this device might not be the most precise, it performs its function flawlessly. I have absolutely no complaints about how it works, and it’s definitely worth the price. Now, with a backlight and standard battery power, it’s a major improvement!

This is a pretty decent paint meter for the price. However, I have found that I have gone back and forth to the same area and had deviations as much as 11/100 so I can say it is fairly accurate for the money but between the tip being a little bit sensitive and the overly inaccurate readings I tend to get in different areas. When I go back to them, I would rate this four stars instead of five.

Excellent for checking paint on automobiles. Unfortunately, I keep losing these but that is my own fault. Great quality with the ability to calibrate it every so often if needed

Does what it is meant to do. Nicely packaged and comes with batteries. Easy to calibrate.

Good stuff

This meter easily reads the paint on a car. Are any areas repainted? Plastic body filler buildup underneath? This meter can tell you all you need to know about the finish on a car your contemplating. It reads the paint thickness and repainted cars have a thicker coating on them. Of course, if there’s body filler underneath the paint the number will be quite high. Keep it on you when looking at cars. Put the measuring end on the paint and move around the car. The situation becomes clear. This unit uses a couple AAA batteries and not the coin battery of others. This makes it much cheaper to maintain. Nice tool
