Andy Boyd, 3M U.S. Markets Manager of Paint Booth Solutions, and Steve Tarnowski from 3M Technical Services, give tips for using 3M PPS 2.0. These are features that professional painters have encouraged us to share with the market.

Tip 1: How to use the new locking system (00:37)
Steve shows how to use the new quarterturn locking system.

Tip 2: Two lids for all five cups (01:37)

Find out how two lids work for all five cup sizes. One lid size fits on midi, midi and micro cups, and the other fits on standard and large.

Tip 3: Benefits of domed geometry (02:35)

This is one painter’s favorite feature of PPS 2.0. With 3 ounces of paint coming out of the gun at all times, you get better spray performance and fewer interruptions. Draining can be tricky with more paint above the filter — here’s how to do it.

Tip 4: How to remove lid and liner (04:18)

Here are easy ways to remove the lid and liner from the hard cup if you need to.

Tip 5: Features of universal shaker core (05:26)

It’s twosided, so it can be used with all five cup sizes. It’s keyed, so it securely locks in. Since it’s keyed, it can act as a wrench to remove a stuck locking collar. Finally, it creates a secure base for storing the cup upside down.

Important note:

There are of course many factors and variables that can affect an individual repair, so the technician and repair facility need to evaluate each specific application and repair process, including relevant vehicle, part and OEM guidelines, and determine what is appropriate for that repair.
