Chapter 226 Paint Film Apparatus

Chapter 225: Paint Film Apparatus

Fang Yuan stared at the pedestal in front of him for a while, and then at Sun Yanming who looked solemn.

Sun Yanming deliberately pulled out the test bench and said separately, Fang Yuan didn't understand the condition appraisal of second-hand cars and guessed what he meant, he wanted to emphasize the importance of bench test deliberately.

Based on his own experience and the car dealership system, Fang Yuan understands that when buying a second-hand car, no matter how perfect the appearance is, how good the price is, and how complete the procedures are, if the car is not in good condition, everything is useless.

There is a saying in the second-hand car industry: one car, one condition, one condition, one price.

It means that even if the same two Honda Crown Roads have the same model, date of manufacture, mileage, number of transfers, etc., one car is in garbage condition and the other is in peak condition. Measure your selling price.

Is the car in good condition?
Not a multimedia configuration.

The low configuration of some models does not even have a large central control screen, so it can be turned on normally?

It does not matter how many speakers there are in the car, whether there is an LCD screen, or whether there is rear multimedia control, and it does not affect driving.

Nor is it an assisted driving configuration.

The current engine start-stop technology is completely useless. The first thing many car owners do when they get in the car is to turn it off, because this function saves a little oil but seriously affects the life of the engine and battery.

It is not an additional configuration.

Wuling Hongguang does not have laser headlights and seat heating, and it can still help make money. It is a good partner for car owners on the road to wealth.

……

All these configurations and functions are ignored. Even if the functions of the second-hand car you want to buy are broken, sometimes it doesn't matter, and it becomes a reason to bargain.

Buyers look for the three most important and expensive parts of a car: the engine, transmission, and chassis.

If any of these three fails, the light one will cause the car owner to lose money, and the serious one will affect the safety of his family and himself.

As for the most important and critical parts of a car, the engine, gearbox and chassis, these three major parts can only be checked clearly when the car is lifted up. It is for this reason that Sun Yanming deliberately emphasized the importance of bench testing before starting a formal introduction. .

After Fang Yuan figured out the reason in the middle, he even thought that if he didn't do a bench test during the second-hand car appraisal, he would be fooling people.

Finding that everyone understood what he meant, Sun Yanming said to Liu Liang, "Go and drive a car over to the platform."

Liu Liang asked hesitantly, "Which car are you driving here?"

"Whatever, I'm just telling you where to look after getting on the stage."

"Oh, that's it." Liu Liang understood, then turned around and walked away in a panic.

"Do you know what equipment and tools you need to prepare for the condition appraisal of used cars?" Sun Yanming asked everyone with a smile.

Zhao Daming and others, including Fang Yuan, shook their heads slightly, expressing that they were not clear, and only the veteran employee Wang Hu tentatively replied: "I saw you used a flashlight and paint before... oh yes, it is a paint film meter, and the rest will be used." What, I don't know."

Sun Yanming slowly took out a small black flashlight from his trouser pocket, a white instrument that was bigger than the remote control of the air conditioner, and even his own mobile phone.

Handing the white instrument to Fang Yuan, leaving the small flashlight and mobile phone behind, Sun Yanming continued: "There are many equipment and tools used in the appraisal of the condition of second-hand cars, including driving computer diagnostic instrument, oil tester, battery tester, etc. instruments, engine transmission performance dynamometers, etc.”

"This lift also belongs to the equipment for testing the condition of second-hand cars." Sun Yanming pointed to the yellow lift in front of him with the mobile phone in his hand, and said, "But these devices are too big and heavy to carry with you when you come to the door for inspection. , so there are only three most common used car condition identification tools, which are the flashlight, paint film tester and mobile phone that Wang Hu just mentioned."

Watching Sun Yanming shake the flashlight and mobile phone in his hand towards him a few times, Fang Yuan looked down at the white instrument he handed to him.

"This is the paint film meter?" Fang Yuan looked over and over, and felt that it was a little bigger than the air conditioner remote control at home. In the middle was a screen that took up half of the area. Since it was not powered on, no screen was displayed.

There are very few buttons on the top. There are three buttons side by side on the top, and the four buttons below form a circle, which is similar to the mode of adjusting the temperature and air volume of the air conditioner. At the bottom are letters and numbers, which seem to be marked model and brand.

"Yes, this is the lacquer meter." Sun Yanming smiled at Fang Yuan, and explained carefully, "There are many styles of lacquer meter, so don't be surprised if you see any one."

"This is the switch button." Sun Yanming walked up to Fang Yuan, pointed to the top middle round button and said, "The method of using the paint film meter is even simpler. After turning on the paint film meter, you only need to align the paint film meter vertically with the cover. If you can get the data accurately, as long as you are not stupid and can understand the numbers displayed by the paint film meter, you will not make mistakes."

"A fool's way of using it." Everyone was happy, thinking that with their own IQ, they would definitely not make mistakes.

"Using a paint film tester is indeed a very simple job." Sun Yanming said, "Some masters and experts in the condition appraisal of second-hand cars have rich experience, and they can know the accurate result by just scanning the surface of the vehicle with their eyes, so they don't use paint. Membrane instrument, and even despises the use of this small instrument."

Judging from the method of using the paint film meter, everyone felt that with the help of high-tech equipment, there is no difficulty in identifying the condition of a used car, and the nervous heart just relieved.

"I have a question." Fang Yuan returned the white varnish meter to Sun Yanming, and then expressed his question.

Fang Yuan knows that any car that is painted in the main engine factory, no matter where it is, the paint data of the whole vehicle should not be much different. The data is inconsistent.

Therefore, as a special tool for detecting the thickness of the paint surface, the paint film meter uses this principle as the basis for judging the condition of the vehicle.

However, the paint surface of low-end Japanese cars is very thin, and the paint surface of French cars and American cars is generally thicker. The data detected by the paint film meter cannot be used as the basis for measuring all models, right?
Fang Yuan also has a problem, that is, some luxury cars use aluminum bodies, the biggest feature of aluminum bodies is that they cannot be sheet metal, and after an accident, they can only be replaced with original parts.

The damaged cover and the replacement cover are all original parts. Fang Yuan believes that using a paint film tester at this time will definitely cause a misjudgment.

When Fang Yuan asked his questions, Sun Yanming kept looking at him silently, but the expression on his face became more and more excited as Fang Yuan asked more and more questions.

"Okay, you have asked the most important question when using the varnish meter." Sun Yanming happily patted Fang Yuan on the shoulder, smiled at him approvingly, and then explained, "Fang Yuan's question is very good. The thickness of the paint surface of each OEM is different. Generally speaking, the paint of Japanese cars is thin, while the paint of European and American cars is thicker. However, the paint of some high-end Japanese cars is still relatively thick, so it is best for the used car condition appraisal master to remember. The general paint data range of Japanese cars, American cars, etc., prevents car owners from covering up color differences and inconsistent paint thicknesses after an accident."

After Sun Yanming talked about the general paint surface data of Japanese cars and American cars, he deliberately emphasized that the paint surface of supercars and trucks is generally very thick, which should be distinguished from ordinary models.
