I love using my 3M PPS system with my Fuji spray gun. I do have to wash the gun out but it literally takes me no more than 3 minutes to clean out. And the best part is the little red caps for the 3M system to keep the paint still good for the next day in the cup.
Great video! You are the first and only one, including 3M's own marketing dept, that pitches the versatility of the PPS 2.0 spray system which can be used as BOTH, a gravity spray gun for lower viscous fluids AND a pressurized spray gun for more viscous or "higher viscosity" fluids such as thicker paints, gel coats, undercoating or adhesives by changing the cups and replacing the fluid control knob assembly with the OPTION that incorporates the air supply, for the pressurized" H/O type cup", which allows you to adjust the pressure to the collapsible bag. The fan knob conversion kit P/N 26837 your gun has, incorporates the adjustable air pressure tap - BUT, that only appears to be an OPTION for the "Performance" series gun which has the '1/4 turn' screw-on heads that is shown here, as 3M 26832. The 'DIY' Accuspray series 2.0 gun has the different "snap on" spray heads, doesn't appear to allow this conversion. These appear to be two different series guns that don't share the same nozzles but appear to share the same 2.0 cup system . For spraying high viscosity coatings like, gel coat on the Accuspray 2.0 "DIY" series, 3M offers their 3M 16587 gun that has an integral, non-adjustable, side-discharge air-port, located just behind the snap-on nozzle. It costs a lot less but since the air pressure to the pressure cup is unregulated, it is pretty much dedicated to high viscosity spray applications like gel coat, adhesives, sound deadners, etc. Without being able to adjust the cup pressure and I question the limitations in tuning the output delivery. But, that's marketing again.
First I've seen this setup. I spray a fair amount with HVLP & HTE where the biggest concern is using a lot of solvent (and time) cleaning the gun. The idea of paint never entering the gun is appealing.
Appreciate the explanation. I’ve been using HVLP but had trouble spraying any of the thicker water based finishes. Thought I’d need to get an airless, but perhaps the pressure pot will solve the issue!
Great vid i don't know much about spray guns but i need to paint a wrought iron fence and this seems like a good option. What do you think? Or is there a better simpler option?
I think 3M specifies something at 13CFM but we used to spray with our 7cfm compressor. If you’re just spraying small cabinet doors you could get away with something a little smaller.

100% I’ve left paint in the cup for maybe 2 days!

Thanks! Who knew, haha.
Looking forward to you guys putting up informative content. Followed Jon for awhile so good luck with the channel.
Awesome! Thank you!
Looking forward to the content guys. Been following Jon for quite a while
Thanks! Let us know what you’d like to see!
The disposable tips is something I was not aware of.... Great Tip!
And they clean out very easily too! It’s nice to have the option.

They make retrofit kits for other guns as well!
@@TodaysCraftsmen Excellent, I'll look into this. Thank you!

💯 definitely worth a look!

Rattle can spray paint is always a good option if you don’t have to do a ton!
What size compressor do you need with this set up?
I think 3M specifies something at 13CFM but we used to spray with our 7cfm compressor. If you’re just spraying small cabinet doors you could get away with something a little smaller.
