3M has responded to industry feedback for and launched two new sized PPS cup, lid and liners.
The addition of the new sizes – a 400ml Midi and 90ml Micro – means 3M now provides a PPS offering for any size repair, ranging from spot repairs using the new Micro 90ml all the way up to four panel repairs using the large 850ml PPS.
3M has been running Australian trials with the new PPS Midi at a selection of local panel shops. “The response to the trials has been great, with a lot of positive feedback. Our customers certainly like this new 400ml size. In addition, shops involved in the trial have commented that the 400ml cup is smaller, and allows them to maneuver their gun better in tight places.” said Danny Adams, 3M Technical Service Engineer, Automotive Aftermarket Division.
The new Midi brings all of the benefits of PPS into one convenient size which is ideal for two-panel repairs that require 400ml of material or less. 3M says the benefits of the PPS system include reducing solvent usage by up to 70 percent, saving up to 50 percent on time to complete jobs, being able to mix and spray from the same cup, and being able to use your spray gun at any angle – even upside down.
Chip Foose from the hit American TV show Overhaulin’ said about the 3M Midi: “The Midi Rocks, it’s a very practical size.“Nice balance, sleek, painter friendly. I will be using a lot of Midi’s."
The introduction of the Midi and the Micro sizes now allows 3M to offer a complete solution to ‘mix what you need, spray what you need’ convenience and efficiency. For more information call: 136 136 or visit our website www.3M.com.au/AAD. Collision Repair Expo stand : AD22.
