Paint meter recommendation?
 

Doing some car shopping currently, I ran across a car that has a panel that looks funny (the plastic bumper attachment to the fender). It may be factory, but that has me going. I wonder if any of you have good luck with a cheaper paint meter (>$100) that you can recommend?

I searched but could not find a solid recommendation. Also looks like there are a lot of new choices online.

Thanks!

I have a High Line Meter 2

It is a budget friendly meter. I think I paid ~$150.00 8-10 years ago.

It has served me well, I am a professional detailer.

They make a version that can ping both Fe and NonFe surfaces. Obviously plastic/fiberglass surfaces can’t be metered.

When I was searching most meters were $500 and up.
