Are those $500 guns RP's? You can buy em on E-bay for under $400!!

I 've been using the system for a couple months, It's O.K. , takes some time getting used to. Only gripe is not being able to really tell how much paint is in the cup.

 

We use them. Did you know they come in different sizes? We use the quart and the other one that holds about 10 OZ., IIRC. Makes it quick and easy to clean your guns. Handy when spraying an all-over, just mix up a few extra cups, and when it'[s close to empty, stop and change it. Beats the heck out of taking time to stop and refill your cup. The down side, they are a little pricey, IMO.

 

I have used the 3M PPS system for the last two years at work every day. It saves alot of time cleaning the guns. I use all three sizes, 8oz, 20oz and 28oz. I don't use many stirring sticks or strainers any more, just mix the paint in the PPS cups put the lid on and shake.

 

For a production shop spraying paint daily they work great. But for the home sprayer, IMO a waste of money

 

I agree they are a bit pricey. I use them at work but at home in my garage its done the cheapest way.

 

There's two versions of the PPS. The older version we had trouble with them coming off if you hit the cup on something, such as hanging it in the booth.
Have not had the trouble with the newer version. I don't remember the difference, our supplier swapped them last April.
