Elcometer 311 [A311CFBI] Automotive Paint Meter, Ferrous (Steel Only), Model B, Range: 0-500μm (0-20mils). Detecting hidden automotive bodywork damage is now easier and faster than ever before thanks to the new Elcometer 311 Automotive Paint Meter. By measuring the paint thickness, the new Elcometer 311 identifies any hidden rework on a vehicle, which is not often found in public or commercial condition reports. Hidden rework, impact damage, respray and filled body panels can all affect a car’s resale value; all can be quickly identified using the new Elcometer 311 Automotive Paint Meter. The new Elcometer 311 Automotive Paint Meter is more advanced and easier to use than ever before. Unlike other gauges the new Elcometer 311 displays the key statistical values used to assess the overall condition of the paint work – such as the number of readings, average coating thickness and the lowest paint thickness etc., it also has the unique Elcometer Index Value. The Elcometer Index Value provides inspectors with a single number which illustrates the vehicle’s overall paint condition and establishes if any previous paint work has been undertaken. This quantifiable number determines the extent of any rework & the overall quality of the vehicle. The higher the Elcometer Index Value the more severe the previous paintwork condition. And if you are working with your own inspection app, the new Elcometer 311 has Bluetooth® – allowing all the measurements to seamlessly pass to your Android™ or Apple® mobile device in real time.
