Spray Gun Overview
3M spray guns were designed from the inside out for the effective, efficient, economical application of paints, adhesives,
coatings and finishes. These spray guns deliver large spray patterns with very low overspray. The soft, tight, adjustable
pattern with complete atomization results in a high finish quality and absolute control. Each light weight spray gun is
designed for easy handling, reliability and durability and for minimum maintenance costs.
3M’s Automatic HVLP spray guns deliver superior atomization for a wide range of coatings. The standard spray gun
body is made of light weight aluminum. The Zinc HVLP Automatic Spray Gun body is made of composite material.
Manufactured for durability and dependability, both versions are easy to maintain for long-lasting performance.

or accessories, such as over pressurizing, modifying parts, using incompatible chemicals and fluids, or using worn or
