UP YOUR GAME WITH 3M
When it comes to automotive refinishing, it’s all about balancing efficiency with getting the finest quality paint job — and avoiding rework at all costs. Which is why, after listening to customers and painters around the world about the demands of the booth, 3M set out to reinvent the spray gun — the single most important tool for any professional painter.
After 10 years of research and development, 3M has introduced
its new 3M Performance Spray Gun. A tool that brings together pre- mium spray performance that painters expect with new technologi- cal advancements that can help painters increase their productivity. The result is a spray gun that is lighter in weight, easier to clean and enables faster changeovers than the leading metal spray guns that have long been the go-to choices for painters worldwide.
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or if it’s your first day on the job, re- liable premium spray performance and increasing your cycle times are keys to success. And while 3M knows that every painter has their go- to spray guns, the company dares you to try the 3M Performance Spray Gun and put it to your test.
PRECISION PERFORMANCE
The secret lives inside 3M’s advanced interchangeable nozzle technology. In six different sizes from 1.2 to 2.0, each atomizing head is optimised for consistent atomisation and superior transfer efficiency – across a full range of high-performance automotive coatings. Spray solid colours, metallics, pearls, clear coats, sealers, and primers with the same premium performance you expect from your best spray gun. And every time you swap out the replaceable nozzle for a fresh one, you can expect like-new spray performance. Third-party tested and painter approved, the 3M Performance Spray Gun is designed to perform, so you can spend less time worrying about your spray gun and more time upping your game.
FASTER CYCLE TIMES
3M Performance Spray Gun integrates seamlessly with 3M PPS Series 2.0 Spray Cups and our new replaceable and interchangeable nozzle technology — which reduces the overall time required for cleaning and changeovers compared to conventional spray guns. Because paint never passes through the body of the spray gun and only through the
disposable cup and nozzle, your cleanup and changeover process can be streamlined. No more paint gunking up internal components, no more breaking down your spray gun or soaking in solvent, and no more cross contamination putting your job at risk. With one spray gun, you can simply, quickly and cleanly swap between coatings without leaving the booth — all to improve your throughput.
ONE OF THE LIGHTEST IN THE WORLD
When you spend your whole day painting, a spray gun should feel like a natural extension of your hand – not an anchor that drags you down. Which is why 3M has applied advanced material science to bring you one of the lightest spray gun in the world. The 3M Performance Spray Gun body is made from an advanced impact- resistant, stainless steel-reinforced composite material. All to reduce its weight by up to 50% compared to conventional metal spray guns — without compromising performance or durability. From the body to the trigger, the spray gun was optimised by kinesiologists for improved comfort. It’s a difference you will see and feel — both in your hand, and in the quality and efficiency of your jobs.
