Paint thickness gauge

[ron in sc]

Does anyone use or own a paint thickness gauge to test for repainted cars or panels on car?

What is a good gauge that will not break the bank?

I'm sure you could find something in an Eastwood catalog that doesn't make your wallet cry

Elcometer is the industry standard
311 fnf which measures thickness on steel and aluminum . Expensive but worth it. I've used mine purchasing used cars in the past
