I like you have good comment and detail The best 3m video ive seen yet !

[@aesthetic_mfr]

Thanks for the review Gabriel.

[@sharondahunan1188]

Awesome man I'm gonna try it soon Thank you for first impression and at least I now have an idea of what to expect from this new gun by 3M.

[@jimfeaster4837]

The best 3m video

[@bumperstand1828]

Great demo, thank you Gabriel.🙏

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Thank youyyy

[@slobo5568]

I learned so much from this dude. Your the man Gabe!!

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Wow thank you so much!

[@cindytrujillo1128]

I honestly love it for base and sealer. Clear still my ws400 but it’s a super nice gun lays out the Metallics

[@mccormik9194]

Great video again (im painting with SATA guns personally) i hope to see some preps video ^^

[@bradyoung1052]

My 3m rep just brought me one today, I liked it too. I'm not sure that it will replace my clear gun but for sealer and base it's great.

[@temourargawan9193]

Very nice and informative, keep up the excellent work.

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Wow thank you!

[@fredygump5578]

This review is all the things I was hoping to hear about on this gun. I have the old Accuspray gun, and I am looking for something a lot better! But I want to keep the versatility, ease of cleaning, etc. (I'm doing hobby work, and I sometimes clean and re-use all the consumables. They can last a lot longer than 3M recommends if you want to take the time.)

[@jimfeaster4837]

Great video !

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Thank you!

[@santogervais4343]

I have used the old one where the air cap clips on and it had a hard time staying on. Now after seeing this gun I would probably use it for primer and sanding surfacing

[@robertbyers7275]

I am going to try and spray my truck tomorrow with this gun thanks for the help

[@santogervais4343]

Looks really good though very impressive

Thank! Much love!!

[@satamanschmidt3428]

I agree with Gabe. Very good to excellent for base and sealer but in my world view you need an RP (I prefer the Iwata WS400) for clear. Two reasons for that atomization and speed. This gun fails at both of those for clear. Speed wise it's about the same as the Iwata LPH400LV which is a great gun but is LVLP and slower than I like. The atomization however isn't as good as the LPH400LV. Where this thing will be killer is primer and in particular polyester surfacer considering the ease of cleaning. It's fine with sealer and base as well. The only issue is the clear. The reason speed matters so much with clear is that, particularly for complete resprays, you've got to get around the entire car while the clear is still wet. If the gun is too slow that's impossible.

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

👍🏼💯

[@juanmata2433]

I used it for about a week. Awesome gun.. did about 30 jobs with it ..Used 1.4 for (solvent)base and sealer. Used 1.3 for clear and never replaced tips. Tried the 1.2 and for clear but was too slow for my way of spraying. Hard to pick up that gun for clear when I have the motivated painters edition walcom clear gun but the gun does have its place with every painter. Awesome video Gabe

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Very well said! I agree with you !

[@juanmata2433]

@@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS my buddy Johnny placed a order for one of your guns 🤞🏽 hopefully he receives it soon. I’ve hyped this gun up so much he had to get one

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Great review Gabe, I don't have one as my compressor wouldn't keep up with the HVLP and my air fed mask but they are getting great reviews here in the UK, some are saying the same as you about laying clear they start with the 1.3 but found the 1.2 gives better atomization with a better finish, I'll share this vid on the FB groups where I'm a member. I've just upgraded to the 3M PPS 2.0 (which are hard to get here) but all my pot lids are the blue colour but you used a different colour pot lid for clear so what's the difference mate? John UK.

[@barryg1406]

Ours are blue lids aswell. Had the gun on demo for 2 weeks now using max mayer 0300 clear on the 1.2 tips sprays realy good

[@alexandraava3034]

Top man

[@ramilyes]

Shout out Gab I'm watching you from KSA

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Much love!!!

[@donproctor4480]

Looks good Gabe. You can bump up the psi to 23-25 on the clear for the 1.3-1.4, i have depending on the level of orange peel i want, 1.2 I probly stay at 20psi. Btw they recommend 20 psi for all their caps. Told you it has the speed of an iwata 😂😂I hard a time at first slowing down to let the gun do its job.

[@donproctor4480]

Also the gun can be had off Amazon for under 300 or you can get the kit you got for around 400.

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Haha 🤙🏼👍🏼

[@CBGRAPHICSAirbrushArt]

Great video 👍🏽 I was thinking about investing in this spray gun I think 🤔 I will pull the trigger and get one.

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Much love!

[@ErikisOfficial]

​@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS you never did another review on it. Must be trash

[@mrk8521]

We've had one of those for about a year now. As a demo they were looking for feedback on. And with the whole covid thing, the rep never came back for it. Lol. Its a nice gun. And the tips do last a long time. I agree 100% with you on the clear. I liked the 1.3 for base. But I didn't really care for the way it sprayed clear with any of the tips. Im used to clearing with an RP though. Personally, I went back to my satas after a week or 2. But, the other painter uses it on every job he does, and really likes it. I'd say its a good buy for a sealer/basecoat gun. Especially if the shop agrees to pay for the replacement tips. It lays out basecoat really nice with the 1.3.

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Glad a pro like you has the same conclusions as me! Much love!

[@jasonryan1286]

I see the hole in your plastic blowing overspray all in the trunk opening other than that, looks good, we have the same gun

[@paullynch1938]

But is it better than your other guns, and are you ready to retire them, that is the question , love your work mate

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

No absolutely not but it is twice better than the last 3m spray gun

[@paullynch1938]

@@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS thanks for getting back to me mate , that’s what I thought , thanks for your fantastic videos, they really help us lot out 👍🏻

[@pd7439]

Demoing one this week. I was surprised how well it sprayed base. I can't bring myself to spend $300 on a plastic spray gun though. I broke so many of the old version..

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Yes that's true

[@barneydog8479]

Nice to compare 1.3 - 1.2 good informative vid gab👍

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Thank yiunn

[@matthewd422]

I see more material useage. Maybe it’s because the tips are either too big or too small (the material isn’t breaking up as much/bigger droplet size?) I’m sooo used to seeing you use walcom gun!

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Haha yeah I can't switch that's for sure !!!

[@BearBudgetTurbine]

Pretty impressive system. Looks to be far superior to the accuspray

[@terryburton971]

Would a 30 gal air compressor work with this

[@barneydog8479]

hi gabe just doing a bmw x5 with paint code A52 struggling to get the match , do you have a variant you go to for this colour in the ppg envirobase? if you can remember of course?

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Try x47 variant

[@davemcaferty6347]

How does that gun compare to the sagola 4600

[@damageundoneltd]

I’m on around 34 jobs on my 1.2 nozzle and a painter friend of mine is on about 60 jobs. They last way longer than 3m state

[@jurpikag]

What's your second sentence saying? "3M state"?

[@damageundoneltd]

@@jurpikag 3m say that you will get a minimum of 10 jobs per nozzle. In our test we have exceeded that by 6 x and there is still bit deterioration of the spray pattern or performance but like with everything, if you look after things they will last longer

[@tonydunning7248]

How would you compare to a similar price range Bell Aria for base and clear? As this has multiple fluid options also.

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

I couldn't say I haven't tried them!

[@awsasher5090]

Yo Gabriel are you still using ppg because I have a question that pertains to my painters old habits and it mite be a good question actually

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

Yesss

[@hazelwoodgarage]

In my area the paint suppliers sell them for 370 and Napa is around 400, I have the 2.0 and haven’t tried one of these yet though

[@Mechaniclyfe]

How was the gun with material usage ?

[@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS]

I feel like it used a bit more but not noticeable on one job

[@Ontheroadbrogymgo]

To me, it’s a gimmick. Material cost would go up. Does it really save time? I would like to see 3M come out with a booth stretcher. 😂 There never seems to be enough room.

[@victoreous626]

Yeah, like maternity pants

[@moedog07]

We use the 3M at my work. It is the easiest and fastest paint gun to clean. We paint a lot of large trucks, single stage, and BC/CC.

[@conradheath7367]

I thought the smaller the tip the thinner the paint had to be.

[@PaintSociety]

With all the guns on the market, there are much more efficient guns that get the job done easier.

[@ArmaniTheGreat]

Exactly and like Gabriel said it’s a $400 gun but over the course of a year buying the replacement tips would make it a far more expensive gun.

[@damageundoneltd]

Hey Brian, I’m not sure if you have tried the new 3m gun or not, I can’t remember but I going to have to disagree with your comment about efficiency. I have been using mine for about a month now and it’s is extremely efficient on product and I’m now finding I’m having to mix less than I normally would.

[@PaintSociety]

@@damageundoneltd hi. It’s not time efficient. I feel as though for the price of the gun and the construction of the gun that there are far superior paint guns in the same range 😊

[@damageundoneltd]

@@PaintSociety have you tried it yet?

[@PaintSociety]

@@damageundoneltd of course. I wouldn’t comment if I hadn’t. I did a video on it 2 months ago. I would say the gun is going to have a much different feel if you’re just spraying a bumper or small panel but when using it on a whole car, it took twice as long and the comfort level is far less superior then that of let’s say a gti pro lite in the same range with tips you don’t have to continuous buy.

[@genecoppedge5972]

Probably around $200 a year to purchase tips if you’re keeping one tip for one week. I’m figuring $7 a tip. But considering how much time you’re saving by not having to disassemble and clean your gun. Oh yeah the thumbs down is from the rattle can dude.

[@markmikheyev6730]

Gun looks like ass 😂 I wouldn’t use it just for that reason. Now that it sprays good they need to make it look good
