The LS239 Automotive Paint Meter is an advanced car paint/coating thickness gauge used to measure the thickness of paint and coatings on vehicle body panels. It’s ideal for:
Used car inspections (detect repainting or previous repairs)
Body shop quality control
Dealership vehicle assessments
Car enthusiast or inspector use
It works on both ferrous (steel) and non-ferrous (aluminium) substrates and can identify metallic putty/filler and galvanized layers, giving you insight into vehicle condition beyond what the eye can see.
🔥 Key Features
📊 Dual Modes: Simple & Expert
Simple Mode: Quick, go-to paint measurements.
Expert Mode: Designed for professional inspectors — lets you test 19 car components and store up to 999 vehicle records, with up to 6 measurements per component.
📱 Smart Bluetooth & Reporting
Built-in Bluetooth lets you connect to a mobile app or WeChat mini-program to record measurements, generate inspection reports, and share them easily on your phone.
🟡 Three-Color Backlight Feedback
The backlight changes color based on measured thickness:
White: Normal range
Yellow: Slightly high/low range
Red: Severe deviation, outside limits, or ferrous putty detected
This makes results easy to interpret at a glance.
⏱️ Fast & Accurate
Quick measurement: ~0.3 s per reading.
Automatic substrate recognition: Detects steel, aluminium, galvanized iron, and non-metallic body parts.
Custom alarm values can be set to trigger when measurements exceed thresholds you define.
💾 Large On-Device Storage
In Simple Mode, stores ~60 readings; in Expert Mode, can store up to 999 vehicle datasets, giving ample room for professional workflows.
🪶 Durable Probe
The ruby probe tip is wear-resistant and ensures long-term accuracy.
Advanced digital probe technology processes measurements directly at the probe, reducing interference and improving stability.
📐 Continuous Measurement & Rotatable Display
Continuous mode: Hold the probe and slide for sliding/continuous readings — showing max/min values in simple mode.
Rotatable screen: In Simple Mode, the display rotation can be switched for easier viewing in tight spaces.
