When facing global challenges, people turn to science.  At 3M, we apply science in collaborative ways to improve lives daily. 

The 3M PPS (Paint Preparation System) is a unique, closed paint system that eliminates the need for separate mixing cups and filters. Instead, paint is mixed in a liner bag which marries to a direct filter and is then mounted on the spray gun with a dedicated adapter. As freshly filtered paint is dispensed, the liner bag collapses, allowing the spray gun to function at any angle. The liner bag and filter are disposable, leaving only the spray gun and adapter to be cleaned. The 3M PPS Paint Preparation system is a cleaner, faster system, safe from outside contamination, and offers considerable time and solvent savings on gun and parts cleaning.

Designed with both performance and efficiency in mind, 3M products for the paint booth are the smarter way to spray. The 3M™ Performance Spray Gun was designed specifically to deliver best-in-class performance while saving you time. 3M™ PPS™, the industry's first disposable spray cup system, sets the worldwide standard for versatility and dependability. 3M delivers smarter, simpler, better ways to spray and achieve maximum efficiency inside the paint booth and out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it beneficial to source all surface prep, masking, and application supplies from one brand?

Combining compatible products across your prep and spraying stages ensures chemical compatibility, eliminates unexpected reactions between materials, and simplifies overall inventory management for your purchasing department.

How do industrial-grade finishing materials help lower total operational costs?

Higher-quality materials last longer during production and cut down on rework. They also reduce chemical waste during fluid mixing, which ultimately lowers your total cost per finished panel or part.

Can I order these finishing items in bulk for large-scale manufacturing operations?

Yes, we support commercial facilities and production-line operations with scalable bulk supply options and scheduled recurring shipments. We also provide dedicated technical support.

Are these products compatible with both solvent-based and waterborne paint systems?

The catalog includes options specifically formulated to withstand aggressive solvent thinners as well as items designed for high-moisture waterborne coatings without breaking down during application.

How do I determine which specific product combination fits my shop layout?

Our technical specialists analyze your booth setup, substrates, spray equipment, and cure cycles to recommend an optimized package of materials tailored directly to your operational needs.
