Frequently Asked Questions About 3M Paint Spray Guns

  • Which spray gun should I use to spray a car?

    Getting a smooth, even finish and avoiding rework is essential when painting a car. The 3M™ Performance Spray Gun is your platform to achieve this. Whether you are working in the car refinish area or in an industrial paint shop, a wide range of nozzles is available for different applications. Choose between pressurized nozzles and gravity ones - with large orifice sizes for higher viscosity paints or even primers down to small orifices for very fine atomization as needed for clear coats.

  • How do I clean a spray paint gun after spraying?

    The 3M™ Performance Spray Gun is easy to clean. Simply drain the paint from the nozzle, then rinse the nozzle with the appropriate solvent until it runs clean. Remove the nozzle from the gun, wipe the needle clean and air blow it dry. The gun body should never go into a spray gun cleaner. Cleaning is much quicker than with traditional spray guns as the paint only runs through the nozzle and not the whole gun.

  • What paint/coatings can I use with the 3M™ Performance Spray Gun?

    The 3M™ Performance Atomizing Heads on the 3M™ Performance Spray Gun allow you to easily spray a wide range of coatings - from stains and primers to topcoats and even adhesives. It can be used at every stage of the paint process, with interchangeable nozzles for fast changeovers.

  • What components or kit should I use with my 3M spray gun?

    3M offer a range of extra components to help you get the most out of your 3M spray gun, including nozzles and tips, replacement parts and spray gun holders.

  • How long does each nozzle last?

    Our recommended nozzle life equates to approximately 150-200 refinish hours. Assuming approximately 10 refinish hours for each job, each nozzle could be used for 15-20 jobs. The actual lifetime will be dependent on the application and use of the product.

  • How much pressure should I use and what settings should I use for coating applications?

    The amount of pressure needed depends on which nozzle type you’re using. The HVLP nozzle operates at 1.4 bar inlet pressure.

    With the 3M™ Performance Spray Gun, you can apply most of the coating types typically used in a body shop. Generally, the operating pressure range is between 0.5 bar - 2.6 bar. Operating Pressure Range (OPR) is the inlet pressure range for safe function of the spray gun.

    Important: Always refer to paint manufacturers recommendations.

  • What’s the advantage of a composite gun over a traditional metal spray gun?

    The composed body of the 3M™ Performance Spray Gun is up to 50% lighter than conventional metal spray guns. The advanced impact-resistant, stainless steel-reinforced composite body was optimized by kinesiologist for improved comfort and less operator fatigue.

  • Where can I buy a 3M™ Performance Spray Gun?
