1.0 I NTRODUCTION
PaintCheck is a Paint Thickness Gauge especially suited for car
bodies. It non-destructively measures coatings, e.g. lacquer, paint,
plastic, rubber, enamel etc., on iron/steel and on non-ferrous metals
such as aluminium.
PaintCheck automatically recognizes the base material (iron/steel
or non-ferrous metal) and then displays the correct coating thickness.
In addition, with “Ferr” or “Non-Ferr,”,the display indicates whether
measurement was made on iron/steel or on non-ferrous metal.
