The 3M PPS MIDI Lid & Liner Kit 16112 offers professional automotive and industrial technicians a disposable solution for efficient paint mixing, filtering, and spraying. Designed for 13.5 oz (400 mL) applications within the original 3M PPS (Legacy) system, this kit optimizes workflow by reducing cleanup time and minimizing contamination risks in demanding refinish and production environments.

Key Features

Integrated 200 Micron Filtration: Each lid incorporates a welded 200mic filter, specifically engineered to effectively strain solvent-based paints, primers, and clear coats. This consistent filtration prevents tip clogs and helps achieve a uniform finish.
Closed Disposable System: The sealed design minimizes exposure to dust and shop debris, significantly reducing the need for cleaning traditional metal paint cups and improving overall job efficiency.
360° Spray Capability: Facilitates consistent material application at any angle, including inverted, providing improved access for challenging areas such as rocker panels, bumpers, and door jambs.
Reduced Solvent & Cleanup: This system can substantially decrease solvent consumption and cleanup time compared to conventional gravity-feed cups by limiting the components that require cleaning.
Temporary Material Storage: Included sealing plugs allow for the short-term storage of non-catalyzed materials, suitable for jobs requiring multiple coats or small, recurring tasks.
Legacy System Compatibility: Specifically designed for seamless integration with the original 3M PPS MIDI 400 mL hard cup and collar (3M #16122, sold separately). This kit is not compatible with PPS Series 2.0 systems.

Applications

The 3M PPS MIDI Lid & Liner Kit is suitable for a range of professional automotive and industrial applications, including:

Spot and panel repairs on passenger cars, light trucks, and commercial vehicles.
Bumper, fender, and blend work requiring 13.5 oz (400 mL) or less material.
Fleet and industrial touch-ups in professional body shops or production lines.
Precision wood finishing, cabinetry, and fixture spraying where a clean process is critical.
Aircraft and marine component refinishing, demanding controlled and contamination-free application.
