For those working in the second-hand car industry, there is not only one car paint meter per person, but at least there are several in a company or a car dealership. It can help second-hand car appraisers quickly understand the paint surface of the vehicle. It is faster and more accurate to find the parts where collisions may have occurred. However, according to the Automotive Online School, many practitioners still don’t know what the normal value of a car paint film meter is? Not long ago, the backend of the Automotive Online School received a message "What's wrong with the paint film meter value being lower than 80?". Let's take this opportunity to talk about this issue!

What is the normal value of the car paint film meter

Under normal circumstances, the thickness of the car's paint is between 100-180 microns, which means that if the vehicle's paint thickness is within this value range, there is basically no problem, but each The car manufacturing processes of car series and brands are different, so the paint thickness of vehicles will also be different. To give the simplest example, the paint thickness of most Japanese and Korean cars is not as thick as that of German cars. It is normal for the heights of cars, American cars and French cars to differ by tens of microns.

Under normal circumstances, when we use a paint film meter, we will select multiple parts for sampling to get the approximate paint thickness of the vehicle. Parts with large differences in values ​​need to be measured several times. At the same time, we should also think about this Which parts will be affected after the collision occurs, and where can we find clues, thereby improving the efficiency of our identification and evaluation.

What's going on when the value measured by the paint film meter is lower than 80?

When the value measured by the paint film meter is lower than 80 microns, the first thing to do is to measure and collect the paint surface data of all parts of the entire car body. If it is just individual If this situation occurs in this area, it means that the vehicle has been in an accident and the damaged area is in this area. For second-hand car appraisal appraisers, the appraisal strength of this area should also be greatly improved. If the values ​​​​of the entire vehicle are different Not much, that may be because the vehicle's paint is only so thick.

Using a paint film meter is only one of the skills that second-hand car appraisers need to master. As a professional second-hand car appraiser, the paint film meter is just a tool to improve your work efficiency. In a real sense, you still need to master a lot of Vehicle appraisal and evaluation skills and techniques enable the vehicle to be appraised independently and comprehensively to know the true condition of the vehicle.
