WHY MEASURE ?
Paint thickness measurement is a powerful tool for finding evidence of accidents, patching of rust spots, and past paint repairs to delaminated surfaces. Unlike visual inspections, a paint meter provides a reliable and quantifiable measurement result.
Problems under the paint will eventually develop with time, so that no matter how good the paint job, poorly prepared or damaged bodies will shorten its life. Thus a vehicle that has been repainted, regardless of the cause, can have a reduced resale value. The resale value decreases more significantly with hi-line and newer resale vehicles.
Inspection has the potential to prevent unplanned future repainting costs (up to $3000 for high quality repaint jobs). Repainting costs can increase significantly when body work is required to repair hidden collision or rust damage.
In addition, inspectors stake their reputation, future business and possible lawsuits on their judgments. If they fail to identify a vehicle that has sustained unreported damage or was rebuilt it can have a significant financial impact. The relative low cost of paint thickness meter greatly reduces this risk, in addition to paying for itself due to increases in efficiency while inspecting
