NEXDIAG NexPTG Standard Paint Thickness Gauge

Measuring paint thickness on steel, galvanized steel, or aluminum can be slow and imprecise with manual tools. The NEXDIAG NexPTG Standard Paint Thickness Gauge solves this by pairing a compact probe with your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, giving you fast, accurate readings directly in the NexPTG app.

Who is it for

Automotive painters, body shops, detailers, and quality inspectors who need to check coating thickness on metal surfaces. It is also useful for DIY enthusiasts restoring vehicles or verifying paintwork before purchase.

Tips

For best accuracy, calibrate the gauge on the included plates before each session. Ensure the surface is clean and free of debris. The spherical probe tip helps maintain consistent contact on curved panels.
