Now...you can be sure on every appraisal--day or night--with The New 2008 FenderSplendor FS 488 Paint meter with an "ICE BLUE ILLUMINATED DISPLAY". Awesome at night and in low light situations, such as an auction. (You wouldn't buy a cell phone without a lighted key pad...why would anyone buy a paint gauge without an illuminated display?) Read on to learn why over 1362 Car Dealers bought a lighted display FS 488 in just the first 7 months! Over 284 Customers ordered a Lighted FenderSplendor Paint Thickness Gauge in April alone...a new record.    Here are the 10 reasons why over 4,665 Car Dealers and Auctions use the FS 488 Paint Meter and why it is the best investment you can make in a paint meter...at any price. Remember you save even more when you get 2 or 3 FS 488 Paint Gauges  After 24 months and over 4,600 sales, the one request we kept hearing from our car dealer friends to improve the FS 488 was to add a lighted readout. Being Car Dealers ourselves, we realized that many cars are appraised and purchased at night. Now you get a lighted readout on the 2008 FS 488 at the low price of $389.00 Over 5,600 car dealers and auctions have bought FenderSplendor Paint Meters in the last 4 years! "The lighted display on the Fendor Splendor Paint Meter is a must have, if you think you don't need one because you only go to auctions during the day you are fooling yourself. There will be Cloudy/Rainy days when the lighted display really helps as well as nightime; and everyone will appraise a car in the dark eventually. It only takes one mistake to lose lots of money. I purchased 2 of these meters 2 months ago and they already have saved me a ton of money. I go to night Auctions and without a Backlit Display it would be very difficult to use a meter at all."

Measures both steel and aluminum...fast and foolproof ...switches automatically! No buttons, turns on and off automatically. Many of the low priced gauges that have started showing up have to be turned on manually every time you use them... a real inconvenience at auctions. Always calibrated, no need to recalibrate. Almost all of the "bargain" gauges have to be recalibrated, often with very confusing instructions. Some even have 'hidden' adjustments inside the battery compartment. One competitor has an instruction manual that is 7 pages long. Look at the ICE BLUE ILLUMINATED DISPLAY above to see how it lights up at night. Only the 2008 Lighted FS 488 offers this extra protection. Unlighted paint meters will be obsolete in a few years...like owning an 8 track cassette. Allen, I love the FS488. I have bought about 10 from you and I plan to buy more. It is accurate, efficient, and I can't tell you how much money I've saved by always carrying one on my hip.

Five years ago, all you saw was the "Orange Gauge." Mostly high line dealers used the gauge which sold for as much as $1,000. Then, three years ago we began discounting paint meters. In the first two years FenderSplendor, Inc. sold close to 1,000 paint gauges making us the fastest growing paint meter distributor in the World, and one of the largest. During this period of time we realized that no one in the gauge and electronic instrument business really understood the car dealer's needs. None of the gauges are designed from scratch for the car dealer. Competitors were still charging $700 for a basic paint gauge. We also saw that if we drastically cut the price of paint meter to the bone, more dealers could afford to buy them. More Paint Meter, Less Money...take a look The 2008 Lighted FenderSplendor FS 488 offers more features than gauges costing twice as much. By manufacturing the gauge ourselves we are able to cut out many layers of profit and get you the absolute best paint meter for the job at 1/2 what some of our competitors charge. The Lighted Display in the 2008 FS 488 sets it apart from all other competitive paint meters for Car Dealers. If you can't see the paint meter display, what good is it? In a year or two, paint meters without a lighted display will be obsolete. You wouldn't buy a cell phone without a lighted keypad, why consider a paint meter without a lighted display?
