Description
Fine Finish With Zero Cup Cleaning — C.A. Technologies CAT-Xpress CAT Pack with 3M PPS 2.0 Cup (CAT-XPR-PPSR2)
The C.A. Technologies CAT-Xpress CAT-XPR-PPSR2 is a complete professional fine finish pressure feed spray outfit built around the CAT-Xpress gun and the 3M PPS 2.0 disposable cup system — eliminating cup cleaning between color changes and material switches entirely. The kit includes the CAT-Xpress gun, both HVLP and pressure-reduced air caps, three nozzle and needle sets (0.8mm, 1.3mm, 1.8mm), an 850mL 3M PPS pressure cup, regulator, three lids and liners, and all tools in a carrying case — everything needed to spray from day one without additional components. The PPS 2.0 system collapses as material is used, eliminating air pockets that cause dry spray at the end of a cup, and the #18 PPS adapter connects the disposable liner directly to the CAT-Xpress gun body. All stainless steel fluid passages, 9 CFM air consumption — works with a 30-gallon compressor minimum — and US made by C.A. Technologies in Louisville, CO.

Application
CET Application Match — Best for This Setup
The CET Preferred Setup for multi-color fine finish work where rapid color changes and zero cup cleaning between jobs translate directly into production time savings. Based on over 20 years supplying industrial finishing equipment, CET’s technical team specifies the CAT-XPR-PPSR2 for automotive refinishing shops doing multi-stage paint work, custom fabricators switching between materials throughout the day, and industrial finishing operations where solvent flushing a reusable cup between every material change adds up to significant lost time per shift.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the 3M PPS 2.0 cup system different from a standard aluminum pressure cup?
- The PPS 2.0 uses disposable liners that collapse as material is consumed, keeping the liner in contact with the fluid at all times to eliminate air pockets and dry spray at the end of a cup. Between jobs you swap the liner instead of solvent-flushing the cup — under a minute vs. 5–10 minutes for a full cup clean. For single-material, single-color runs where you’re cleaning the gun between jobs anyway, the aluminum cup (303R2) is the simpler choice. For multi-color work, the PPS system saves significant time per shift.
- How many lids and liners are included, and where do I get more?
- Three lids and liners (CA91-562) are included with the kit. Additional liners are available in 25-packs through CET — call or text 586-210-0555 to order replacement liner packs and confirm availability for same-day shipment.
- What compressor do I need for 9 CFM?
- 9 CFM at 29 PSI gun inlet requires a 30-gallon compressor at 90 PSI rated output — one of the lowest air demands in the professional fine finish gun category. Most single-phase shop compressors in the 25–60 gallon range handle the CAT-Xpress comfortably. Call or text 586-210-0555 if you’re running multiple guns off the same line.
- Does the CAT-Xpress meet HVLP compliance requirements?
- Yes — the included HVLP cap (2403233) meets HVLP compliance requirements at 26 PSI gun inlet. The pressure-reduced cap (2403218) at 29 PSI meets US pressure-reduced regulations. Both caps are included — swap based on your facility or jurisdiction requirement without purchasing a second gun.
- What repair kit does the CAT-Xpress use?
- The CAT-Xpress uses repair kit 2411779, which includes all wear seals, o-rings, needle packing assembly, and springs for a complete gun rebuild. CET stocks repair kits for same-day shipment — call or text 586-210-0555 to confirm availability.
- Where can I find the full CAT-Xpress parts manual?

Why Choose the CAT-Xpress
Purpose-Built for Fine Finish Where Transfer Efficiency and Compliance Both Matter
The CAT-Xpress is C.A. Technologies’ answer to the fine finish operator who needs extreme atomization quality, HVLP and pressure-reduced compliance in the same gun, and ergonomics designed for all-day production use — without the air consumption demands of conventional spray guns.
- Precision engineered air caps: Both HVLP and pressure-reduced caps keep atomization particle size at the absolute finest — consistent finish quality across the full nozzle range.
- Thread-less fluid tip: Swap nozzle sizes without tools — faster changeover between materials during a shift and more consistent nozzle seating than threaded designs.
- Handle-mounted fan and air controls: Quarter-turn fan adjustment and built-in air valve at the handle means one-handed pattern and atomization adjustment without stopping application.
- All stainless steel fluid passages: Chemical resistance to solvent-based coatings, waterborne finishes, automotive materials, and industrial topcoats across all included nozzle sizes.
- 9 CFM total air consumption: Professional fine finish performance at less than half the air demand of conventional spray guns — practical for smaller shops and mobile setups without sacrificing atomization quality.
