Spray Gun Overview

3M spray guns were designed from the inside out for the effective, effi cient, economical 
application of paints, adhesives, coatings and fi nishes. These spray guns deliver large 
spray patterns with very low overspray. The soft, tight, adjustable pattern with complete 
atomization results in a high fi nish quality and absolute control. Each light weight 
spray gun is designed for easy handling, reliability and durability and for minimum 
maintenance costs. 

Whether your air source is compressed air or a turbine unit, you will benefi t from the 
speed of application, the decrease in masking, sanding and cleanup time and the 
ability to achieve a fi ne fi nish. Combine your 3M spray gun with the 3M™ PPS™ Paint 
Preparation System and enjoy additional savings of time and cleaning solvents.

3M equipment is for professional use only. Hazards can occur from equipment misuse. 
Any misuse of the equipment or accessories, such as over pressurizing, modifying 
parts, using incompatible chemicals and fl uids, or using worn or damaged parts can 
cause serious bodily injury, fi re, explosion or property damage.
