The best tool for measuring clear coat thickness is an ultrasonic coating thickness gauge. It is capable of measuring the thickness of each layer of paint on the vehicle, even the clear coat. This is common in automotive refinishing and inspection.

A colorimeter sends light through a solution and measures the amount that is absorbed. It computes the absorbance by comparing the intensity of light before and after passing through. The greater the concentration of the color, the greater is the absorption of the light. It is also possible to quantify the color of the solution.

Take L*a*b* readings of two samples using a colorimeter or spectrophotometer and calculate color difference using the 3 formula (Delta E). The difference in 0 is the reported Delta-E, which shows how visible the change is, whereas the thresholds define the acceptability as per the application requirements.

The CCC is much like the CAC yet it frequently has advanced programmable lighting, sophisticated electronic control systems that allow for light source switching, and advanced visual testing.

Gloss paint can be identified by visual inspection and using a gloss meter. The high gloss paints are shiny and reflective like a mirror, satin or eggshell has a soft sheen, whereas the matte paint is non-reflective with very little or no reflection.

In a Pantone light box, the tubes last around 2000 to 3000 hours, after which the brightness and color should be assessed for replacement.

The haze meter test assesses the degree of light scattering that occurs when light traverses a transparent or translucent material, producing a percentage that quantifies example or cloudiness.

There are many factors that can influence accuracy such as surface roughness, temperature, substrate material, and calibration settings. For ferrous metals, external magnetic fields can also distort measurements. Proper calibration and preparation will help reduce the impact of these factors.

A paint gloss meter is used to measure the level of paint gloss, whereby it reflects light at some angles, such as 20°, 60°, or 85° angles, and measures the intensity of that light. To measure surface sheen, the level of gloss is compared to standards that are calibrated and reported in units of gloss (GU).
