Car Paint Thickness Gauge Test Ford Mustang

The Ford Mustang is a unique super sports car with a cool film on the car surface.Driving on the road is absolutely cool for young people.However,the price of the new car may be a bit high for some young people who like this.So they did not hesitate to go to the used car market.So how can you not be fooled by the second-hand car dealer?So we judge the value of the car by measuring the car paint surface thickness with the car paint thickness gauge.

The following figure shows the paint surface thickness at 17 positions of the Ford Mustang body using the Bluetooth car paint thickness gauge.The positions are: roof, engine compartment cover, left front fender,left A-pillar,left front door,left B-pillar,Left rear door,left C-pillar, left rear fender,trunk lid,right rear fender,right C-pillar,right rear door,right B-pillar, right front door,right A-pillar,right front fender.These 17 locations are all over the car.We can know the overall condition of the car through the measurement data.

Usually we measure the car paint surface thickness and the paint surface thickness of the roof. Generally,the difference between the thickness values of 10-40μm is normal.If this value range is exceeded,it may be that the sheet metal has been made.The data which is lower than the roof position may be excessively polished.

From the test report of the Ford Mustang,the overall paint film thickness of the car surface is nearly 200μm.We consulted the used car dealer, he said that the two cars were attached to the outer model.The thickness of the Ford Mustang right rear fender lacquer surface is 435.8, the thickness of the right C-pillar lacquer is 294.9.And the thickness of the right rear lacquer is 355.4. In addition to these three locations whose paint thickness are a little thicker,the paint thickness values at other locations are relatively uniform.If the overall maintenance of the car is better and the service life is shorter,it is more cost-effective to buy this car.

It can be seen from the above measurement examples that the car paint thickness gauge can be used not only by the used car dealers to detect the paint thickness of the car but also for the used car buyers.  For more information about the car paint thickness test, please read "Auto Paint Thickness Gauge Test Citroen DS paint".
