3M 16398 PPS SUN GUN Nickel-Cadmium Battery

3M is a innovator in all kinds of products. I am a certified collision painter . Paint is the first thing a customer looks at when picking up a vehicle. Today's cars and trucks come from plants all over the world and so does the paint that's on them.

That's where the problem comes in , and that's where the 3M Sun Gun is a painter's best tool with today's colors.

All paint company's try to make formulas that will match a color ,but there are a few thousand colors out there.

So , they have what is called alternates and all paint company's supply color deck's with alternate formulas-

examplesdarker ,redder ,finer, lighter , greener, etc. So , as a painter , when a color comes up that has a alternate (most do ) I grab my Sun Gun and use the decks against the car to choose the correct alternate to use as the Sun Gun is the closest thing to natural sunlight.

These guns use up a battery quick when tinting a color ,or going in and out the booth multiple times and you need to have something as close to sunlight to get a good match.

It's good to always have a second and third battery ready to go as these guns do not give you a display of battery life and in the course of a day or half a hour depending on use you may need it.

I do not recommend putting the battery in the charger after each use , drain charge fully.
