Has anyone else used 3M's new paint gun/system? They have quite a few innovations in them.

The gun is two separate pieces (paint, and air). You can take off the paint section and only clean that section insted of putting the entire gun in solvent.

The needle tip is made of a bowling ball type material. this allows your orfice in the cap to stay the same size throughout its lifetime. The tip wears out instead of the cap.

Also tips and caps are interchangeable. you don't need a different needle when you switch cap sizes!

The cups are different too. It's a hard plastic cup with soft inserts that the paint goes into. the cap has a built in filter, so there's no filter in the gun to get clogged.

The coolest part about the new cups though, is you can pressurize the cup. turn the cup upside down and spray out your air until paint comes out. now you can spray from any angle and get consistant spray! plus no drips from the venthole to get on your project!

These guns are very cutting edge.

I, however, don't like the guns spraying qualities. I've used SATA for the past few years, and the new gun itself doesn't stand up to mine. But I did get an addapter for my gun so I can still use the cup system on my own gun.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has used these yet, and what their opinion was. I think the cups are great, but gun could use some revisions.

Just passing on some knowledge,
