Elcometer 311 Automotive Paint

The Elcometer 311 measures paint thickness to spot hidden repairs on a car. These repairs are often not listed in public or commercial reports.

Hidden repairs, impact damage, repainting, or filled panels can lower a car’s value. The Elcometer 311 quickly finds these issues.

Unlike other tools, the Elcometer 311 shows key details about the paint, like the number of readings, average thickness, and lowest thickness. It also provides a unique Elcometer Index Value.

The Elcometer Index Value is a single number that shows the car’s overall paint condition. It tells if the car has had previous paintwork.

A higher Elcometer Index Value means more serious past paintwork issues, showing the extent of repairs and the car’s quality.

The Elcometer 311 helps you measure paint thickness and check your car’s paint condition. You can see swirls, oxidation, or other flaws that hurt the car’s look. You might want to polish the paint to make it look better.

But do you know how thick the clear coat is? Has the car been repainted or repaired many times? How much clear coat is left? Your eyes can’t tell, but the Elcometer 311 can!

This tool measures paint thickness on aluminum and steel panels without damage. Its FNF probe instantly detects the material, giving fast and accurate results. The Elcometer Index Value shows the paint condition and any past repairs. A higher value means more serious paintwork issues.

Here are details about this tool, available in two models!
