I use a Defelsko Positest DFT Combo. About $600.

I felt it was worth the expense, as I used the paint meter in the purchased 4 used Porsches.

I ask the dealer for one. 9/10 times they will give it to you. Others times they will say they dont have one (lie)... if you are persistent they will go get it.

Make sure you are the one doing the testing.
