ZOYI ZT-TC13 Paint and Coating Thickness Gauge
Measure coatings from 0–1250µm on ferrous and non-ferrous metals—ideal for used-car inspections, paintwork assessment, body shops and industrial coating checks.
Inspect Vehicle Paintwork with Confidence
The ZOYI ZT-TC13 is a portable paint and coating thickness gauge designed for car dealers, used-car inspectors, automotive technicians, detailers and body-shop professionals.
By comparing coating measurements across similar vehicle panels, users can identify unusual thickness variations that may indicate repainting, additional coating layers or previous body repairs that are not immediately visible.
Simple explanation: Original factory paint is normally reasonably consistent across comparable panels. If one door, wing or section produces noticeably different readings, that area may have been repainted or repaired and should be inspected more closely.
Automatic Fe and NFe Recognition
The ZT-TC13 automatically recognises the type of metal beneath the coating, allowing users to move between compatible steel and aluminium panels without manually selecting a substrate mode.
Fe — Ferrous Metals
Suitable for measuring coatings applied over steel and iron surfaces.
NFe — Non-Ferrous Metals
Suitable for measuring coatings applied over compatible non-ferrous metals such as aluminium.
Key Features
0–1250µm Range
Suitable for vehicle paintwork and a variety of protective coatings.
Automatic Substrate Detection
Automatically recognises compatible ferrous and non-ferrous metal surfaces.
Fast Measurements
Place the probe against the surface to obtain a coating-thickness reading.
Clear LCD
Provides easy-to-read results during workshop and outdoor inspections.
Portable Design
Compact and ergonomic for mobile inspections and everyday use.
What Can the ZT-TC13 Help Identify?
- Differences between comparable vehicle panels
- Possible resprayed or refinished areas
- Unusually thick coating or paint layers
- Inconsistent paintwork across a vehicle body
- Powder coatings and protective surface finishes
- Coating consistency on compatible metal structures and equipment
Important inspection guidance: A thickness reading does not prove accident damage by itself. Compare several readings across clean, flat and similar panels, and consider the vehicle’s construction and repair history. The gauge requires a compatible metal substrate and is not intended for plastic, fibreglass or carbon-fibre panels.
Recommended Applications
- Car dealers and used-car inspections
- Detailing studios and body shops
- Automotive technicians and vehicle appraisers
- Pre-purchase vehicle evaluations
- Industrial coating and finish inspections
- Mobile vehicle-inspection services
