Reinvented from connection to cup
- Nearly 20 years ago, 3M invented the 3M™ PPS™ paint preparation system - now after thousands of hours watching and working with hundreds of painters we've redesigned the spray cup six ways to make painting easier.
- 1. Wide Spout Adapter with Four-Point Connection. Maximises stability while spraying. Makes cleaning easier.
- 2. Quarter-Turn Lid Locking System. Comes with every lid. Stays cleaner. Locks faster. Fewer parts to keep track of.
- 3. Domed Lid with Full-Diameter Filter. More paint below the filter delay spitting at the end of the job.
- 4. New Cup in Every Lid & Liner Kit. Start with a clean cup more often, reducing paint build-up. On-cup ratios and fill markings eliminate traditional mixing cups.
- 5. Access Window. Allows you to hold the liner for cleaner, easier lid removal when refilling. Also easier to check paint levels.
- 6. Larger Cup Sealing Plug. Allows you to keep paint for a short time in the cup standing on the sealing plug, providing protection and greater stability. Use fewer lids by keeping filter wet.
