Applications

The 3M PPS SUN GUN Color Matching Light Kit is an invaluable tool across several stages of automotive and industrial finishing:

• Color Matching: Verify color match using spray-outs and aid in the color shading or tinting process to achieve blendable results accurately. It allows technicians to choose the correct variant or alternate color chip with confidence, regardless of location or weather conditions.
• Defect Identification: Identify pre-paint defects such as pin holes and sand scratches, preventing issues before primer or basecoat application. It also helps in identifying post-paint defects like swirl marks, burn-through, and sand scratches, even before applying clearcoat, reducing the chance of costly re-work.
• Coverage Verification: Confirm full hiding and complete coverage without needing to move the vehicle or substrate outdoors to examine under natural sunlight.
