Product description
Three steps to know if a car has been repainted
No need to understand paint coatings or decipher numbers. The app handles it for you – a green result brings peace of mind, while a red indicator signals time to negotiate or walk away.
1
Connect the gauge to your phone Turn on the gauge and open the NexPTG app – Bluetooth pairing happens automatically with no extra setup.
2
Place on the surface and measure Apply the gauge probe to any panel – hood, doors, fender, or trunk. Your result appears in the app in a fraction of a second.
3
Read the result – SAPL explains what it found The SAPL system automatically classifies each panel: factory paint, touch-up, repainted, or body filler. Simple insights with zero technical jargon.
Real-life example: You are inspecting a car priced at 10,000 €. The rear right door reads 320 µm instead of a typical 110 µm – SAPL flags it as repainted . You now have solid leverage for price negotiation or a clear reason to keep looking.

The Paint Coating Analysis System (SAPL) is an algorithm built into the NexPTG app that automatically translates raw µm values into plain language.
Paint Layer Too Thin
Indicates an undersized paint layer, which may signal insufficient protective coverage.
Typically 0-69 µm
Original Paint Layer
Thickness is within normal limits for this vehicle type and panel, indicating factory paint thickness.
Typically 70-165 µm
Second Paint Layer
A localized variation from standard. Suggests a minor touch-up, paint point repair, or small refinish.
Typically 166-300 µm
Thin Layer of Body Filler
Suggests that the area was filled in the past and the vehicle underwent body repair work.
Typically 301-500 µm
Thick Layer of Body Filler
Indicates bodywork intervention and post-collision repair on the panel.
Typically 501-700 µm
Heavy Body Filler Layer
Points to major structural body repair and typically indicates severe collision history.
Typically 700+ µm
