I'm in the Automobile Business, what is the best Paint Gauge for me,
the FS 488, the FS 688 or
the FS 502 Coating Thickness Gauge?
Let's make it simple...The FS 488 or the FS 688 is the only paint gauge you
will ever need if you buy and sell
vehicles. They are simple, fast, small and affordable. They never need calibration, and
the FS 488 and FS 688 Paint Meters make it very easy to spot paint work on a vehicle you are appraising or
buying.
Many of the major dealership chains, thousands of
independents and many of the Auctions use the FS 488 Paint or the FS 688
Gauge. Click Here for a look at just a
few of our FS 488 Paint Meter customers.

488 and FS 688 Web Site.
Some of our customers simply want the best they can
find and don't mind spending a little more. Just like some people wear a Rolex, some people wear a Timex. Both do a
good job of telling time. It is just a matter of personal choice. If you are a perfectionist, you'll love the
FS502
If you are the type of person who uses a basic
"point-and-click" camera you'll want a FS 488 or FS 688 Paint Meter. If you go for the advanced cameras with full
adjustability, you'll want to get the FS 502 Paint Thickness Gauge.
The FS 502 has a cool blue lighted
face, making it easier to appraise cars at
night.
The FS 502 measure in 10ths of a mil, instead
of 1/2 mil increments. (This makes no difference in finding paintwork...some people just prefer the higher
accuracy)
The FS 502 reads to 50 mils of thickness. This
could be helpful if you are checking "classics" where there is a potential for for
bondo.
 The FS 502 can be zeroed out (calibrated) for complete
accuracy.
The FS 502 reads in both Mils and Microns
(European Measurement)
The FS 502 has a positive 'on' button, so it
never accidentally turns itself on, avoiding unexpected dead batteries.
Detailers and Body Shops like the higher
accuracy and the ability to read in microns. This makes wet sanding easier.
