A handheld coating thickness gauge for cars, designed for fast, non-destructive measurements of paint and plating, the Neoteck Thickness Gauge gives reliable readings. Accurate, repeatable measurements bring confidence when assessing repairs, resprays and corrosion protection. Will it handle the inspection demands of a busy workshop or valeter?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Measurement Range: 0–1500 µm (0–59.1 mil), suitable for thin finishes up to very thick coatings
- • Best for: Body shop technicians, used-car inspectors and DIYers checking paintwork consistency
- • Not ideal for: Very small paint spots under 6 mm diameter or tight concave areas below 25 mm radius
Handheld meter uses dual Fe and NFe technology for automatic substrate recognition. Large backlit LCD displays readings in µm or mils plus battery status for quick checks.
Accurate, repeatable measurements – thanks to dual Fe and NFe technology
Dual-technology sensors automatically recognise ferrous and non-ferrous substrates and measure coating thickness across a 0–1500 µm range, with resolution of 0.1 µm and an accuracy of ±(3% + 2 µm). Calibration base is included for verification of readings.
Reliable numeric results remove guesswork when assessing repairs, repaint quality and corrosion protection, making decisions faster and more consistent.
Fast, readable results – with a large backlit LCD and unit selection
Large LCD shows metal type, working mode, reading number and battery status, and supports display in µm or mils for user preference.
Clear screen and instant measurements speed up inspections and reduce reading errors in low-light conditions.
Workshop-ready handling – with handheld probe, calibration base and configurable auto-off
Compact handheld construction includes a calibration base and specifies minimum curvature radii (convex 1.5 mm, concave 25 mm) and a minimum measuring area of 6 mm diameter; auto power-off triggers after five minutes but can be disabled via the menu.
Comfortable grip, included calibration accessory and configurable power settings make routine checks straightforward and consistent for repeated use.
