3M PPS 2.0 Paint Spray Refill Kit — 12 Lids & Liners (26173), 200‑micron Filter & Quarter‑Turn Collar

The 3M PPS 2.0 refill kit is designed to keep your PPS spray-gun workflow moving: measure, mix, filter and spray from a single disposable lid-and-liner assembly that fits standard 22-ounce hard plastic cups (cups sold separately). The updated 2.0 components include a quarter-turn locking collar, a domed lid to reduce sputter, a wider fluid spout and a redesigned adapter for a firmer gun-to-lid fit. Each lid contains a 200-micron stainless steel mesh to trap contaminants commonly found in solvent-based coatings.

How does this refill kit reduce paint waste and cleanup time?

By combining measuring, filtering and spraying in one disposable liner-and-lid set, the PPS system eliminates multiple transfer steps and the need to clean metal cups between colors. That lowers paint loss during pouring and filtering and substantially cuts solvent use for cleanup.

• Disposable liners replace time-consuming cup cleaning
• Single-use lids prevent cross-contamination between mixes
• Reduced solvent consumption — up to large percentage savings versus conventional cups
• Minimizes wasted paint when changing colors or batches

What improvements come with the PPS 2.0 lids and adapters?

3M refined the lid geometry and locking mechanism to make assembly quicker and more reliable. The quarter-turn collar helps prevent cross-threading and paint buildup, while the domed lid design stores extra fluid beneath the filter to smooth spray output and reduce sputter.

• Quarter-turn locking collar for faster, secure attachment
• Domed lid shape holds up to 3 fl oz under the filter to stabilize flow
• Wider fluid spout for easier pouring and quicker fills
• Redesigned adapter for a steadier connection to the spray gun

Which coatings and applications work best with these lids and liners?

The kit is compatible with many solvent-based and sprayable materials used in automotive, marine, furniture and industrial refinishing. The built-in 200-micron mesh is sized to capture common particulates for those formulations without overly restricting flow.

• Suitable for paints, primers, sealers, and clearcoats
• Works with stains, varnishes and sprayable adhesives
• Commonly used in auto body, boat repair, furniture and industrial tasks
• Designed for use with standard 22-ounce hard plastic paint cups (not included)

How many pieces are in the 26173 refill kit and what’s included?

The 3M 26173 pack contains enough disposable components for multiple color changes or small production runs and includes sealing plugs for storage. Everything provided is intended to speed prep and minimize contamination during mixing and spraying.

• 12 disposable lids with integrated quarter-turn locking collars and 200-micron filters
• 12 disposable liners sized for standard 22-ounce cups
• 16 sealing plugs for temporarily closing filled lids

Who this refill kit is for: professional refinishers, collision repair shops, boatyards, custom furniture makers and serious DIYers who want faster color changes, cleaner mixing and less solvent use. If you already use the 3M PPS system or are moving from reusable metal cups to a disposable workflow, this 26173 refill pack provides the updated lids and accessories to improve spray consistency, reduce downtime and lower material waste.
