3M PPS 2.0 Spray Gun Cup Kit — 22 oz Reusable Cup with 6 Disposable Lids & Liners, 200‑Micron Filters

The 3M PPS 2.0 Spray Gun Cup Lids and Liners Kit (26172) is a starter system that delivers a reusable 22-ounce cup plus disposable lids and liners with integrated filters to measure, mix, filter and spray paint more cleanly and efficiently.

This kit combines a hard plastic paint cup with single-use liners and lockable lids engineered to reduce sputter, contamination and cleanup time. The kit includes a 22 oz reusable cup, six disposable lids with 200-micron filters and locking collars, six liners and sealing plugs so you can work with solvent-borne coatings while avoiding the mess of traditional metal cups. It’s designed to simplify thinning, filtering and rapid changeover on spray guns for automotive, marine, industrial and DIY projects.

How does the PPS 2.0 system reduce paint waste and cleanup time?

The disposable liners confine the mixed material so the reusable cup stays relatively clean, which drastically reduces solvent use during turnaround. You remove and discard the liner after use, leaving only the hard cup to rinse, cutting solvent consumption and speeding prep between color changes.

• Use up to 70% less cleaning solvent versus conventional metal cups.
• Quick liner swaps reduce contamination and cure-related buildup.
• Sealing plugs allow you to preserve leftover material without transferring to separate containers.

What features help improve spray performance and reduce sputtering?

The lids include a domed under-filter reservoir that holds a small amount of material below the 200-micron mesh, which prevents air ingestion as paint levels drop and reduces intermittent sputter. An integrated quarter-turn locking collar secures the lid and minimizes cross-threading and paint buildup on the rim.

• 200-micron fine mesh filter captures particulates for smoother atomization.
• Domed shape stores up to about 3 ounces under the filter for stable flow.
• Locking collar provides consistent seating and faster lid changes.

Can this kit handle different coatings and spray angles?

The PPS 2.0 system is compatible with a broad range of solvent-based paints, clears, primers, adhesives and stains used in auto refinish, marine and industrial applications. Its liner-and-lid geometry enables spraying at any angle, even upside down, so you can tackle complex parts with fewer interruptions.

• Suitable for basecoats, primers, sealers, clear coats and sprayable adhesives.
• System maintains flow at 360-degree orientations for access to hard-to-reach areas.
• Printed universal mixing ratios on the cup help with accurate measuring.

What comes in the 26172 starter kit and how is it set up?

The kit ships ready to use: one rigid 22-ounce cup, six disposable lids with built-in 200-micron filters and locking collars, six single-use liners and 16 sealing plugs to preserve mixed material. Setup is straightforward—insert a liner into the cup, pour or mix material inside the liner, close with the locking lid and attach the cup to your spray gun per the gun manufacturer’s instructions.

• Includes one 22 oz reusable hard plastic cup with clear viewing window.
• Six disposable lids and liners plus 16 sealing plugs for storage.
• Printed mixing ratios and a visible level window on the cup for accuracy.

Who is this for: The 3M PPS 2.0 26172 starter kit is aimed at professional refinishers, collision repair shops, boat and furniture painters, and serious DIYers who want faster color changes, less solvent use and consistent spray results. It’s particularly useful when working with solvent-based coatings that require fine filtration and reliable spray performance across different angles and complex parts.
