The NexPTG Advanced measures paint thickness between 0 and 2200 μm with a resolution of 1 μm, and is designed for professional use in the automotive industry, detailing and vehicle valuation. The gauge automatically identifies substrates of steel, galvanised steel and aluminium, providing a fast and reliable assessment of the vehicle's paint layer.
Via Bluetooth 4.0 LE, measurement data is synchronised directly with the dedicated NexPTG app, where up to 2000 readings can be stored, exported and compiled into reports. This streamlines the workflow when inspecting and valuing used vehicles. More paint thickness gauges for vehicle care
When does NexPTG Advanced make the most sense?
The NexPTG Advanced comes into its own when checking paint layers ahead of buying, selling or valuing a vehicle, where precise measurements are needed to reveal previous paint repairs. Through the SAPL Extended system, the paint layer is analysed with high precision, giving detailers and valuers a basis for assessing the vehicle's true condition.
Applications for NexPTG Advanced
- Checking paint layers during used vehicle valuation
- Documentation ahead of insurance inspections
- Quality control after paint repairs at a workshop
- Routine checks when purchasing vehicles for resale

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the NexPTG Advanced from NexDiag work on curved bodywork panels?
No, the NexPTG Advanced from NexDiag is optimised for flat surfaces and delivers accurate measurements under these conditions. On heavily curved panels, such as wheel arches or certain body shapes, readings may become less reliable.
How long is the battery life of the NexPTG Advanced from NexDiag during continuous use?
The NexPTG Advanced from NexDiag provides up to 100 hours of continuous operation with alkaline batteries, enough for several days' work in a reconditioning workshop without changing batteries. A set of alkaline batteries is included in the package.
What sets the NexPTG Advanced from NexDiag apart from other paint thickness gauges?
The NexPTG Advanced from NexDiag stands out through the combination of SAPL Extended analysis, a measurement memory of up to 2000 entries, and Bluetooth 4.0 LE connectivity to a dedicated app for exporting reports. This makes the gauge particularly suitable for documentation in professional use, compared with simpler gauges without app support or storage capacity.
