How many times do we run into a snag when we try to measure the thickness of the covering layers of our project? Or even find that we need an adhesion tester for those complicated jobs. But if we could measure the volume of the product used in the original fabrication stage of our job it would make a fix or even a touchup almost a walk in the park. But knowing the right color code used in the build of let’s say your car is only part of the recipe of a successful quick touchup.

What is just as important, if not more important than the color, is in knowing what the right amount of paint was used. This is because most cars have a finish that is 3 or 4 layers deep, but the difference between those layers is what makes your paint job the right paint job. Which tool do you think makes this possible? Yes, that’s right, our paint test gauges and even our coating thickness gauges are perfect for those important jobs. We have many different options for you when it comes to making the right choice, just let us know what your needs are and away we go. It is that simple.
