3M PPS Paint Spray Gun Cup Lids and Liners Kit - Fast Changeouts

In this review of the 3M PPS Original Series lids and liners kit, the bottom line is simple: it is for painters who need faster prep and cleaner changeouts. The kit replaces messy filtering and cleanup with single-use liners and lids, making it a sensible choice for automotive, furniture, boat, and workshop use where reducing contamination and cleanup time matters. The reviewer found the biggest reason to buy is the consistent reduction in solvent use and faster gun turnaround when working with solvent-based paints and clearcoats.

Key Features

• Disposable lids and liners: Fifty single-use lids and liners let you mix, filter and spray without transferring materials between containers, cutting contamination risk.
• 200-micron filter: Each lid has a built-in 200-micron fine mesh filter that helps remove particulates commonly found in solvent-based paint for smoother finishes.
• Standard 22 oz size: The 22-ounce capacity matches most medium projects and reduces refills for jobs on cars, furniture, and small boats.
• Sealing plugs included: Twenty sealing plugs let you temporarily cap the cup to protect and reuse mixed paint when jobs are paused.
• System efficiency: Designed to work with the original PPS cup and collar or most handheld guns with an adapter, it reduces cleaning solvent use and speeds prep and cleanup.

Who It's For

The kit is ideal for professional refinishers and serious DIYers who regularly spray solvent-based paints, clearcoats or primers and want to cut downtime between color changes. Workshops that do multiple short jobs or frequent color swaps will benefit most from the single-use liners and quick lid changeouts.

It is less useful for one-off hobbyists who only spray small amounts infrequently and do not mind cleaning a reusable metal cup, or for water-based-only users if their materials do not require a 200-micron mesh. Remember this product is intended for industrial/occupational use.

Pros & Cons

Pros
