Paint Thickness Tester. Why only the other day I was saying to myself, gosh, wish I had a paint thickness tester in my pocket to check if this car has been badly repaired. And now here’s the handy tool itself, in all its blue glory. Great as a bargaining counter with stubborn sellers, for who can argue with technology eh? £9.99.
Place the test probe on the car roof, for example. By pressing a button, the paint thickness tester will store this paint thickness as a reference value. Now, by placing the test probe on any part of the vehicle body, you can compare it with this value. You will immediately determine whether parts of the body have been replaces or repainted and if the purchase price is suitable. If necessary, you have a direct case for renegotiating the price with the vendor.
