    More intel

    What lighting do you guys use for inspection. Obviously set up in a garage. My “work space” sucks. Only 1.5car and it’s FULL. Lol

    Clear coat meter. ANYTHING good for a hundred or so?

    Hit me

    Scangrip. A little expensive, but worth every penny IMO. They have a Sunmatch model for around $100.00.

    Isn`t the sunmatch a swirl finder light?

    I think he is asking about clear coat readers like the deflesko for instance which I believe is the entry one for like $250 or so, unless I missed something.

    Edit: nevermind he mentioned both
    Allow me to return to my dark corner, haha

    Lighting....
    Yeah something in the garage that helps light it up GOOOOD to see maring and stuff.
    No patience to use a flash light inch by inch. So get that out of heads lol.

    I have the lights from griots, which are made by maxxeon. They work very well and are much cheaper than scangrips. Griots sells the stand as well which multiple can be mounted on.

    This is my setup, borrowed from this youtuber, who is on this forum. I am using different bulbs made by Phillips, which pushed me to the ~$150 mark. Works like a charm on any paint color.

    You can, but they aren`t movable and are pretty unidirectional. What good does a bulb facing down do for me when I want it to point directly on the side of the car?

    Check out this link on the maxxeon lights by Mary b. Very good write-up and pictures showcasing the lights abilities.

    Rigid has a 1200lumen for $89 and it’s cordless. Rigid. Likely lifetime warranty too
    Reading above the one poster said over 1000 lumens almost too bright anyway
